I'll be back soon!

I have been going like crazy - fun stuff but very busy! I'll post pictures soon.....really, I will! Today however all the "on the go" has caught up with me and I am miserably sick.
We had a wonderful, healthy Christmas which was a true blessing. At least one of us is usually throwing up on Christmas. We did run Zac to the doctor late one night. He had had a fever of between 101 and 105 for 3 days. On day four he said his neck was hurting, I gave him some Tylenol and put him down for a nap. Then I remembered my very dear friend Mindy... I could just hear her yelling at me. Her son came dangerously close to not being here because of meningitis and I got pretty worried then when I thought about that. I watched him like a hawk until he woke and then we took him in. They checked him all over and could find no reason for him to have such a high fever. Blood work was ordered - he laughed and laughed. He thought it was SO cool to see his blood coming out like that......ok.....not the reaction I was expecting. No
idea why he had the fever but three days later it was gone. Strange but at least he's ok. Anyway, he My mom's plane made it here only a day late but unfortunately that meant she missed our Polar Express train ride. We still had a great time even though we missed her and it was pouring rain when we had to run into the station. We made cinnamon Christmas tree ornaments and our annual gingerbread houses. Even Alex joined in a bit but he's not as into it as he used to be. He's really growing up! :( For Christmas I got the mother of all knitting needle sets Knitpicks Natural Harmony wooden needles. A COMPLETE set!!! WOW!!!! I also got some wonderful yarn to go with them so that's kept me busy too. :) After Christmas we headed to Illinois to visit Mark's family in Washington, Peoria and Rochester. What a lot of driving! It was nice to see everyone though and the boys had a BLAST with their cousins.
Well, I really need to rest now and Zac is hungry so I guess I better try and get him something to eat.
I really have missed all my blogging friends and cannot wait to catch back up with everyone.

Oh, I went with the happy birthday background #1 because Alex and Ethan's birthday's are this month and #2 I'm too sick to search for anything else right now!
