Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope your holiday is great one, filled with family, friends and the spirit of the season.

We had our family xmas on Sunday. We started off with a great xmas program at church. It was wonderful, although bitter cold outside. We headed to get a family picture taken afterwards. It was amazing how fast they got us in and had the pictures taken. It was less than an hour total with pictures in hand. Then it was home to Oma's for dinner, which was excellent. Then the kids were waiting to open presents. Ryan was not interested in the clothes, but really liked the semi with cars he could put in it. Then was the big gift. The train table. He had a exasperated response and started playing immediately. He played with it most of the day and when he wasnt play with the train table it was the vacuum that Haley had gotten as a gift. My kid likes to clean. He did very well and walks around home saying, "HO, HO, HO". Funny!!!!!

I got a tennis bracelet that has a heart with a ruby in it. That was from my sister-in-law. I really like it.

We have some cleaning to do on Christmas Eve and then are having breakfast in our pj's on Christmas morning. We are going to make popcorn for Santa. Im glad its that because Ryan wanted it to be chicken and fries originally. Yuck!!! So popcorn it is. Im cool with that.

We are having Christmas morning coffee cake and a breakfast casserole. Hanging around the fireplace, LOL. Its just a dvd that makes my tv look like a fireplace but the sound are the same. It is rockin cool.

I had ordered a couple gifts and they wont make it before Christmas so that is the down side of my procrastination. We will have a great day. Im glad to be home with Ryan. WE havent had our snuggle time in the last few days and Ryan gets very grouchy when we dont have mom/Ryan time at home.

Again, have a great christmas, safe and wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year.

Love,
Becky and Ryan

LUCKY

I have the best little boy in whole world. He has been so loving and Im taking advantage of it before it changes. Lots of hugs and kisses, please and Thank you's. Just thought I would share.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

I love the snow. I think winter may be my favorite season. I like to see it snow(hate the ice), like to get bundled up and go play in the snow then come in and sit by fireplace and be warm. No, I dont have a fireplace but I bought a DVD that will give me my fireplace and it even crackles like a fire. LOVE it. So, I have a fire now. LOL

Nothing else to report. Ryan is very tired and he looks awful. He perked up after his bath. Watching Wall-e now. Well gotta go. Take care and drive safe.

Love

Almost Christmas

We had a very uneventful weekend. I have been sick to my stomach all weekend. Dont know why. Ryan has been a great boy. He has been playing and hanging out in his room. I was able to watch a tv movie. It was nice. He took a great bath and is running his Thomas the Train up and down my arm. He is going to be so excited when he gets his train table. He will be in train heaven. I thought about getting him a conductor hat. Now, he is throwing a fit because he wants to sit where Im sitting. Too bad. He is on another 14 days of antibiotic. 34 days total. I hope this works for his sinuses. His asthma has been good. Lets hope he will stay healthy during the holidays. We went and saw Bolt at the movies theatre. It was cute but I was concerned at the beginning. I thought it started a little weird, almost scary. I was freaking at first. Well its bedtime and we are off to read. Have a good week.

Love,
Becky and Ryan

200

This is the 200th post on Ryan's blog. Thats alot and it doesnt feel like its alot. We had a pretty good weekend. Ryan has has diarrhea since friday, so thats an issue. I think its from the Anitbiotic he has been on for 20 days. He's otherwise in a good mood and is fine. Friday I played Bunco for the first time. It was a blast. I had a really good time and it was relaxing. Ryan hung out with Oma & Opa. Saturday, Ryan was seen at Peds afterhours to check his butt. He has a yeast infection on it, he also had thrush recently, so thats probably where it came from. We then went to Walmart and Oma was there. Ryan was walking down the isle's yelling "HO, HO, HO!!!! Everyone thought that was pretty funny. We then went home and hung out. I didnt laundry and cleaned a little. On Sunday we took 3 hours naps and got up and headed to Peoria. Ryan rode the train at the mall( for the 5th time) and I had a coupon for Children's Place. He got a few shirts, pants and 2 pairs of PJ's. We ate a pretzel and headed to walmart for diaper rash cream. Then we went home and hung out until bed time. Im hoping the diarrhea will stop soon. Oh, while at the mall, everytime we would walk by the door he would yell, Cold, BRRRRRR!!! I think he might be a comedian. LOL. So thats it. We have been talking and watching things about Santa and he wont stop asking about going to church. Looking forward to a quick work week and a long weekend. Hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying the pre-days of Christmas.
Take Care.

Irritated

I am so sick and tired of the stupid, assanine(sp) people that own and help maintain the place we live. I will be without hot water for 6 days. That is absolutely absurd. I so sick of their crap. So, I will be looking for somewhere else. Unfortunately it will probably not be in Princeville. I wish it were but I cant find anything.
Ryan is doing better with his breathing. Im sick and have a horrible cough. My asthma is really flared up. We dont have much planned this weekend. Church and on Sunday Princeville has a Xmas homecoming. Lots of fun I hope.
I have been wanting to take Ryan to see Bolt at the theatre. We may do that if the weather is to cold on Sunday.
My friend Robin had a baby boy recently. Evan James. I havent got a chance to call her back. I hoping my cough will subside soon so that we can have a long talk. She is the best.
Hope everyone is staying warm and in full swing for the holidays. Take Care.
