Our church had a Christmas party for the children and while I wasn't able to be there Doug took the kids and some pictures. They had games and a visit from Santa, of course. Looks like they got a singing santa.

Random pictures
Chris was sent to timeout for some reason and Lexie decided to follow. I'm pretty sure sure she was counting for hide and seek because she loves to do that, but I thought it real cute that she would follow her brother to the corner.
Not the most flattering shot of me, but a cute overall shot with the kids. I spent a lot of time in bed while waiting for my back to heal and watched a lot of movies. Evan and Lex decided to join me for a movie watch.
Ben was so kind and thoughtful. He made me a mailbox while I was on bed rest and the kids wrote me letters of love and best wishes for getting better.

Lesson from a 4year old
This morning after I asked my four year old to put away some chairs we had this brief conversation.
Him: "Mommy, do you know why we clean the house?"
Me: "No."
Him: "So Heavenly Father and Jesus can come visit us."
Okay, he's too good. Why was he sent to me? I guess to teach me.
Have a wonderful day.

Curly Top
As usual after Doug is gone for at least 2 weeks we headed to Chuck E. Cheese's to party. The kids just love going. Just this one shot because we forgot our camera. Look how curly her hair is!
M.I.A. no longer
Hello world! No I have not been taken hostage by anyone or anything contrary to what my absence on the web may say. I haven't posted since Thanksgiving and that is when my world started to fall apart. The day before Thanksgiving I hurt my back, but could still function to some degree. The following Tuesday, however, changed all that. The power went out and with only electic heat in the house I decided to bundle everyone up and go to my parent's who are on a different power company. This decission was my own since Doug had been in China for over a week and was not set to return for a few more weeks. This decission proved fatal. Lexie was not cooperating (what 2 year old does) and I had to force her in her car seat. Wednesday morning I couldn't walk. After a trip to the physical therapist, Urgent Care, ER and doctor I was told to go on bed rest and see if it fixed itself. After two weeks in bed an MRI was order (Doug flew right home by the way). The verdict: Herniated Disk! Ouch! My disk fluid was pushing out and crushing my nerves hence the problem walking and other nerve related issues I was having. What to do? More bed rest and heal. I hate bed rest! If I could have moved I'm sure I wouldn't have stayed in bed as long as I have, as it was I could not so I was stuck. During this time of pain I also had another worry. Pain pills and a developing child. Yes, you read right, we are expeting a baby boy in May. Thankfully things are working out and I am feeling better if not up to full speed yet and the baby so far is just fine.
11 weeks gestation
21 weeks gestation - He was a mover and a shaker so a good picture was hard to get. At least he stopped moving long enough to find out gender and moved enough to get this face shot. I think he is camera shy.
