We ARE Zithromax

We all made it to the doctor! Jake has a form of pneumonia and is on antibiotics; Kaleb has a form of strep and is on antibiotics too; Todd is just getting over "this thing" and has a script for Z-pack to fill if he needs it- also had his blood pressure taken and it was rather high, so the doc adjusted his meds (he had changed over to our dr); I am just starting "this thing" and will be taking Sudafed and also have a script to fill if needed for a Z-pack.

It's Here...

I seriously thought that Kaleb and I would not catch the sickness, but we are at the beginning stages. With the long holiday weekend coming up, I decided to make an appt. for the three of us (and possibly Todd) to see the doctor this afternoon. Kaleb started with a stuffy nose last night, but it is on and off and he also has a little cough and has been sneezing; I woke up with my head hurting and could feel a little pain in my ears as well as possible swollen glands; Jakob's cough has worsened (at least he took medication on his own yesterday and we did not have to take drastic measures for him to take it; Todd still feels under the weather. I am most concerned about the baby with him being so young.

'Tis the Season

We had a good Christmas! Todd and I decided not to buy for each other this year and to just focus on the boys (of course I did pick up a few things from Dogfish Head and Harpoon for him...). Jakob and I got up about the same time (before 8 am)- see his blog for more on Jakob and his gifts- and headed downstairs to see what Santa brought from the "Norf Pole".

I didn't think I would finish getting the house straightened away, the rest of the gifts wrapped, and make 2 chocolate cream pies...but it happend!

Around 2 pm my parents, brother Kevin, his wife Megan, and son Shawn came. We opened gifts from them and from my aunts the night before (we didn't go this year due to Todd and Jake not feeling well). About 4:30ish Nana and Candi came to visit. After gifts, we had CHINESE for dinner...yummy!

Christmas Eve


A few months back, we picked out jammies for Jake to wear on Christmas Eve and he picked out Kaleb's. Jakob said the milk he had before bed was the "best ever"!

All are asleep! I need to set cookies out for "Santa", finish wrapping a few gifts, and get to bed before Santa comes. Heehee
Sweet Dreams........

A Visiting We Will Go


Friday night we ventured out to Brian and Tawnya's. We had a great time with friends and just hanging out by the fire and watching Christmas movies (Jake was able to watch movies on a sleeping bag just like he was camping out). Kaleb slept the whole time we were there; he really enjoyed his time with Tawnya and Dan. We did miss seeing Jaime =(.

Today we went over to the farm to see Great Gram. Nana, Aunt Sue, Uncle Don, and Catherine came over to meet baby Kaleb. We had a great visit (Jake was Jake buzzing all around!). Of course, we were in Woodstock so I HAD to have cider from Woodstock Orchards....mmmm mmmm delicious!!

Gram and the boys.....


With Catherine and Aunt Sue......

I think the rest of the weekend will be low key and spent at home as both Todd and Jake seem to be coming down with a little something.

Feliz Navidad {Jakob's Version}

The first two words of the song are Jake's way of saying "Feliz Navidad".

Gingerbread House

Nana brought us a gift on Friday...a gingerbread house to put together! I have never put a real one together (just a fake one) and got a little frustrated, so Todd took over. Here are the results:
