Holiday Time Is Here Again!

Wow! How the time does fly. I can barely believe it is almost Christmas again! Hunter is One year old today! He is growing up so fast! This Grandma is so proud and yet can barely keep up with the little Tyke! It is sure a good thing that I have lost the weight I have, or keeping up would not even be an option. He has had a rough time of it lately. He seems to get whatever is going around. It sure brings back memories of sitting in the Doctor's office way more than I ever wanted to. He has had the throw ups. Then then the Diarhea. He is finally getting over it now....we hope. Most of the stuff is from swallowing all the flem. It is clear, but runs like a faucet. I feel so bad for him. He has been so legarthic. He has given this Grandma so much cuddle time. I like that, but would rather see him going going going like the Energizer Bunny! This just isn't his speed. He wants us to fix whats wrong, you can see it in his eyes. Oh how I wish for a magic carpet so that I could make him all better. What a joy he is. Those eyes are so beautiful and you nearly fall into them. He has the very long eyelashes like his mommy had when she was little too. I regret that I have so few pictures of her. She does not seem to mind it and understands why I never took many pictures. With two little ones, taking pictures was the last thing I had to think about. I was so busy all the time taking care of them. I had Jodee to help. Larry helped too. I never would have made it without them. Jodee had to grow up really young. I regret that too, though she does not seem to. I did not mean to wander here. I just wanted to write a bit about little guy's Birthday. I have enough pictures of him and his cousin Tyler to wallpaper our entire house. Buying that digital camera was the best thing Larry and I have ever invested in. We will not lack for pictures of our grandchildren. I am feeling kinda achey and tired today. There are several things I could be doing today, but my heart tells me that I should stay home and just take care of me. I hope I am not getting sick. I think it is just exhaustion from taking care of the boys so much. I had Tyler from Friday after Thanksgiving till Sunday. Then went to take care of Hunter. I forget which day I started. They have all run together. We will go celebrate with Hunter and all on Sunday. Hope that he feels good enough to enjoy the day. His mommy said she gave him some cake today just to "practice" for Sunday so he would not freak out. He really loved the cake. Hope he does not throw it up! I can not explain how much Joy I get from spending time with those two grandsons. Whomever called them Grand knew what they were talking about. That phrase about "If I knew how much fun Grandchildren were, I would have had them first", really hit the nail on the head! Hope your Holidays are as Joyful as I know mine will be. We know that Jesse and Todd will be here on the 23rd and 24th. We do now know for sure about Jodee's Family or Lacey's for sure. I think Jodee said they would be going to Jamie's folks. I do not know if they will come here on the way home or not. Maybe we can manage to meet them somewhere for a while if not. Will have to catch up on that. We could also go out there before the actual day. Will be sure to talk that over with Larry sometime soon. Think I will go relax and watch TV for a while. I am sooooo tired! Hugs to you all, and enjoy. Don't take on so much that you lose the Joy! Katie
