nye, all about you
Yeah, born on New Year’s Eve, this is your own personal holiday. Gifts, close-crowding cousins: Cake time! Dad’s such a baker: Aww, you. What a great New Year’s Eve. Today was New Year’s Day and we had a meal here too. I ran in my bedroom to grab something and there was this cutie asleep.

the in between week
It’s that in between week between Christmas and New Year’s. Last weekend it felt like Saturday every day. Then there were a few sort of normal days. Now it’s back to the Saturday feeling all over again. The snow went to the north of the cities, but we did get slop and rain. Here are

christmas night
We met over at the hospital. I have not seen my little peanut in over a week as she struggled her way through RSV. They don’t encourage visitors. No additional germs or people, please. But she’s doing a little better, and it was lovely to be there with them. Heidi was able to hold her

preschool program
A bunch of us made it to the Preschool Christmas Program, and it was very sweet. She’s enjoying Christmas, even made it to Santa–cautious, but willing. At preschool they made little nativity sets using a shoe box and decorated wooden pegs. After school she showed it to Heidi and talked about the characters. The angel
hopeful
This little girl has held her own all week, and today her doctors said they see improvement. All week we’ve been glad for holding steady. RSV can be serious trouble, and for her it was. Even if it’s only a little improvement, we are relieved and encouraged. So much love, Sweetheart, Love, Grandma and Grandpa
