Merry Christmas!

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Like most other families, we start crazy mode tonight. We have Christmas at my Mom & Dad's tonight, then we wake up with Santa presents and celebrate on Christmas morning. Then we will have a HUGE Christmas dinner at Mom & Dad's on Christmas Day. On Friday morning we will be leaving for the weekend for Christmas with the Hurley's.

I wanted to go ahead and post this before things got tooo hectic. I am actually sitting here while giving Riley's his breathing treatment. I had to take him to the Dr yesterday evening because he has this nasty barking cough. Well, to my surprise when Dr. Welch came in and listened to his chest, he immediately starting talking about admitting him to the hospital. So after another breathing treatment in the office and several prescriptions, he let us come home under very strict orders. This morning the pediatrician has already called and checked on us, and Riley has improved some, so hopefully he will be better for Santa.

I hope and pray for safe travel for everyone who is traveling this holiday season, whether it's just down the road or hours away. I want everyone to remember the families that have been affected by the tragedy just less than a 1/2 mile down the road from our house. So many families lost all their Christmas present or just the fact that they can't spend Christmas at home.

Everyone please remember the reason for the season!
