December?

1. Christmas Cards
Your Christmas card is going to be late...and, no offense, you might not get one.
First time ordering cards via Internet and they got our order wrong.
So, just in case, Merry Christmas!

2. Jack

Don't feel sorry for him, he totally deserves it

Ok, so the new puppy smell has worn off and now Jack is an accident having, biting and terrorizing little fuzzy demon.
Alright, he's not that bad. But, the honeymoon is definitely over.
Emily is still in love.
So, that's good.

3.Emily
She's been on a roll lately.
"I can't go to sleep; I'm allergic"
I wish I would write her words of wisdom down when she says them...I can't remember the rest, but trust me, they make you shake your head.

She had her Christmas Party at school yesterday.

"I had too much hot chocolate."

She's precious as ever and looking forward to Christmas.
She has asked Santa for a microphone so she can be the "hopstar" of Princess and the "Hopstar".
She is quite the performer.
We get multiple choreographed renditions of "Here I Am" from the Princess and the Hopstar, and "Extravaganzalorious" from Elf on a Shelf.

4. Bubby
Bubby and DaddyDaddy are both sick with icky colds.
They're so sad.
:-(

On the liver front, he remains a weirdo. While his enzymes have all improved (including his GGT by 1000 points), his bili level is up above 7.
What the heck, man?

He's almost as yellow as he was for his first Christmas.
:'-(
We're just going to watch him and see where it goes.

He crashed Emmy's party yesterday and discovered Doritos.
I guess it was the first time ever to have the evil cheesy chips and he couldn't get enough.

Check out those Doritos stains on his sleeves!

Poor little guy.

5. Me

I turned 30 last week.
I guess I am officially an adult now.
:-/
The DaddyDaddy was wonderful and surprised me with a dinner Saturday night with friends and family...even though I had to wear a sombrero and be the target of loud singing.
As a present to myself, I went and had a physical.
I mean,  guess that's what old people do?
Along with the realization that I am an adult, I guess I need to really start taking care of myself.
So, had to get all the baselines checked.
Blood pressure was good, blood sugar was certainly in range, cholesterol and LDL were NORMAL (shock) and even my HDL was in range.
Triglycerides were the only area I need to work on...and as I incorporate more fruits, vegetables and flax seed (like old people should), that should come down.

So, that's what we've been up to.

Can't wait to see what Santa has in store for us!
