the week before Christmas...

Man, last week was busy at work. Just a butt kicker. The patient census was pretty full, and as soon as we would get a bed empty through sending someone home, another person would be admitted via the emergency room right away.

I'm glad that week is over - from the horrifying drives to and from work last Sunday on the foot of new snow to the crushing work load.

Steven missed Thursday and Friday from school. He was getting headaches again. Now he will be home for the next two weeks, and can hopefully start feeling a lot better.

It is great having Bill home, even though he has been pretty grouchy off and on since getting here.

Dan hired a photographer to come out and take family portraits yesterday. We took some outside in the snow with the dog, and some inside by the Christmas tree and fireplace. The one I especially love is of the boys sitting next to the tree with their kitties. Matty was frantically trying to escape, and the picture is hilarious. Today she brought them here, and will give Dan the wallet sized ones next week. It was so convenient having her come here rather than heading into a studio. And this way we could include the cats and the dog, who are all part of the family.

Last night we had yummy guacamole and chips for dinner, followed by bean and cheese enchiladas, which were just plain good. Yummy! Tonight we will have tacos.

Dan and I will be going to go grocery shopping when he gets home and pick out Christmas dinner. We might try a goose for the first time ever this year.

I have decided that from now on, I will just make book reviews at Amazon for everything I read. That way this blog can be more about family activities again.
