Our Uninvited Guest

After returning from the Library, I left Em and Logan in the car while I carried in all of our stuff. I left the door open behind me and set everything on the kitchen table. I heard something and assumed it was Em coming in behind me. I turned around just in time to see a little black squirrel run through the back door. It went straight to the bay window. While it was running back and forth and knocking everything over, I am screaming and thinking I hope it doesn't come at me. It then turned and left the way it came. I guess I won't leave the door open behind me anytime soon--and I don't think I need any more excitement for the rest of the day!!!

I gave Blood

I did it today for the first time. I am very proud of myself, because I was so scared. I think the finger prick hurt more than anything. My New Years resolution is to give blood every time I can.

Holidays

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We celebrated with Grandpa Steve, Grandma Marilyn, Great Grandma and Grandpa Goodburn, Karissa, Ben and Devin on Wed. They all came over and we opened gifts and had Lasagna for supper.

Christmas Morning we got up and had our own family Christmas. Logan wasn't really into opening this year, but Emily was a great big sister and helped him out. Around 9:30 we headed over to Christie's house and had our Robinson Family Christmas followed by the Specht Christmas. We really missed Grandma Midge who was in the hospital.

Today we went over to Great Grandma and Grandpa Goodburns for dinner and to say "See ya later" to Grandpa Steve and Grandma Marilyn who are headed back to Utah in the morning--Have a safe trip.. Grandma Marge has already decided that she is having Christmas at her house next year on Christmas day....Don't say you haven't been told

I have to say we are truly blessed with Emily and Logan, they may get a bit naughty at times, but we wouldn't trade them for anything in the world

I think we are going to have a white Christmas

It can stop snowing at anytime. Em only had 2 full days of school this week..Late Mon, early out Tues and no school Friday all due to snow. Right now we are in a Blizzard Watch, which really sucks because we were suppose to head to Lynnette's for Christmas today. Sorry guys--try to have fun without us :(

Have I not posted for a while?

I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last posted. I mentioned I had the flu....That held on for a good week. You would think I would have lost 10 lbs not eating anything but toast and soup, I didn't. Logan ended up getting strep throat right after that. So far Em and Kyle have been healthy.

Have I mentioned how much Logan loves his big sister? He now says IE and we know that means Emily. He loves to follow her around and get into her room at all costs. Two rooms we keep the door shut-Emily's and the bathroom (loves the toilet too).

I have been wanting to sit down for the past week and blog, but this is the first chance I have gotten.

Last Wed Logan had his year check up--He was 20 lbs 7 oz and 29 1/2 inches...Emily was 57 lbs. Logan was very good for his 4 shots, he cried just as long for his shots as Emily did for her 1 Flu shot. Last year she had the mist, but I think she opted for the shot to try and be tough like Logan. She has already decided to go back to the mist next year. We took Karissa out for her Birthday lunch and then over to Grandma and Grandpa's to visit with Pam who was back for a week.

Thanksgiving Day we had 40+ of Kyle's relatives over for dinner. All I had to do is make a turkey and some dishes at the end of the meal....Everything was wonderful.

Friday and Saturday I was back to work at 5:00 AM--I don't know why Inventory always has to fall during a holiday..
Saturday afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner. We watched Derek, Devin and Logan play and Sophia and Emily play.

Sunday we went back over to Grandma and Grandpa's and had some lunch and then came home and put up our Christmas tree and some decorations. So far Logan has left the tree alone.

As for the past 2 1/2 days--I got the flu. YUCK!!! Stay away from it at all costs.
