The Days

The days here have been filled with cough decongestant, antibiotics, aspirin, Tylenol, Excedrin, cough suppressant, and cough syrup. Evan has been sick since the day after Thanksgiving. It's been pretty miserable for all of us. He's still been working both jobs and in his little time off we've done all the normal holiday things--he's a very good husband and father. But with the sickness (Kyle and I've had a few bad days ourselves--today being one of them) and getting Christmas decoration up, cards sent, gifts bought and wrapped, goodies made, and guests hosted, it has left little time to post all of the pictures and stories I've collected. Many pardons.

Then the other day, we had an accident. The computer was bumped off the edge of the coffee table. It has taken several spills without incident. However, this one broke something related to the screen being attached to the computer. I know, I'm real technical. The warranty ran out the 5th of December this year. That's the way it always goes, right? So we will take it to see how much it costs to fix, but it hasn't happened yet in all the Christmas festivities. Luckily, we have my laptop, but the pictures are mostly on the other computer. So I have very few to post, until we get them off the broken Mac.

I would like to share with you the video of Kyle's first really "playing" incident. Notice that at the end, he sees the camera and stops interacting. He just stares at the camera when he knows it's there. Hence, it has been rather difficult to get a good picture of him smiling. At least, I don't have to worry about getting pictures with him looking at the camera. This video has been to China and around. It has caused many smiles and giggles. I could watch it over and over. Please enjoy. Along with our best wishes for the holidays--where ever our friends and family may be.
