boys.bugs.dogs.dirt

Well February is coming to an end to day and all I can say is Thank goodness! We have been sick,sick ,sick since February 13th. Nathan was the lucky one who got on antibiotics first due to an ear infection. I waited it out 8 days before going in to find out I had bronchitis, and poor tough Andrew just got on antibiotics yesterday for a double ear infection. Daddy has a bit of a cold but were hoping he holds out and doesn't end up as sick as the rest of us were. Anyway in between watching lots of TV and laying around the house we did manage to get out a couple of the nice days we had and have some fun. There is nothing more fun than bugs,dirt and our loyal dog Siena

Basketball

We had our first introduction to Basketball through the Redding Parks in recreation Grasshopper sports. The boys played on saturdays for a few weeks with there friends Ellie, Max,Brooklyn, Nicholas, and Jett. All the grandparents stop by to watch too. Nathan seemed to enjoy basketball more than Andrew.

The Giraffe with nine lives

Andrew went to play at Grandma D's today so we packed giraffe to bring with us. By the time we got to the house the boys had fallen asleep and it was raining. I passed the blanket and giraffe over to Grandma while I carried Andrew in to lay him down. He woke up when I got him in the house, meanwhile Nathan woke up crying and Grandma was out at the car talking with him normal craziness happened. So I jumped in the car with few words to Grandma and drove off with Nathan. That night Andrew came home but giraffe was not with him. Grandma had never seen giraffe, Andrew said giraffe was by the TV, then he was by the computer, he really had no clue. I was beginning to doubt I left giraffe with them. So that brings us to Saturday, three nights without giraffe. Andrew was doing well actually friday night was the first night that he actually said "I really miss girafee". Brian took the boys to Turtle Bay and then stopped by Grandma's after. As he was driving down there street he noticed something in the gutter that looked like a pile of leaves but its winter, and has been raining for 10 days so there are no leaves on the trees, so he stopped and there he was "girafee". The Giraffe with 9 lives, so that leaves him with about 6 left. Hope he doesn't use them up before Andrew doesn't need him anymore.

Happy New Year 2010!

We spent a wonderful New Years Eve with the Heath family enjoying fondue, Champagne and a east coast New Years so that we could have the kids to bed at a decent time.

Christmas

Lots of wonderful christmas memories again this year. Eddie the Elf came to stay with us for the month of December. He is our elf from the North pole that stays with and reports back to Santa every night on whether we have been good or bad. On Christmas Eve Eddie goes back to the North Pole until next year.
