The flu....take 2

Make that 6 times....i barely got the computer out of the way

The flu....

Well, the flu has hit our house. I got a call at work today that Wyatt was throwing up. I picked him up at 1:30 and since then he has gotten sick 5 more times. There's nothing left in his tummy but he keeps either dry heaving or bringing up snot. Appetizing I know. So it seems that instead of going to my office christmas party at the Essen Haus I will be staying home with my pukie kid.

Christmas Cookies!!!

I have been inspired lately by all my blogging friends and their pursuit of Christmas traditions. So, tonight we made Christmas cookies! All three of us, and by that I mean me :) Chris wrangled Wyatt, because he really wanted to eat all of it. He had tons of fun playing with the measuring cups and spoons! We couldn't get them iced fast enough and he wolfed it down! We iced a few and then it was bath time. There is nothing better than a kid who has a good time in the bath so I had to add those pictures! Our tradition was somewhat successful, so we'll see if we keep it.

Little Drummer Boy

Our Christmas concert went so well! I have no voice left, but at least I got through the weekend. Why do I always get sick for Christmas concerts? Anyway, we are in the middle of an ice storm! We got home from church and couldn't get up our driveway. I finally drove through the snow on the grass to get into the garage. Our driveway isn't really on a hill either. Crazy. We watched the neighbors slide past their driveway and then take a couple of attempts to get up the drive. No church tonight, which has been really nice. I needed the rest! It was a great weekend though! Here's a little video of Wyatt showing off his rhythm skills!

"Let there be Light"

Tonight is our church's Christmas concert, "Let there be light" http://fbcelkhart.org/music/index.htm Chris didn't get to be in it b/c he has a basketball game tonight, but it turned out to be a blessing because he's been able to stay home with Wyatt this week while I had rehearsals. I am excited about this, its nice to get back to singing. Pray for the hearts of the unsaved coming that they would be open to hearing the gospel that will be presented. Christmas is such a great opportunity to get people into church, so we need to take advantage of that opportunity. Pray for all the technical makings that they run smoothly and lastly please pray that the snow/ice/sleet that is expected tomorrow holds off until later in the evening. We don't want anything holding people away.

Chris has a game this evening so Wyatt will be coming with me. Hopefully he'll do great! Its been a busy week, but it is making time fly by so fast and we're anxious to see our family at Christmas!

Love to all!
