Whoa! Where did all these come from?

Hello All!

Hoping you all had a wonderful Holiday! Things were a little crazy around here at the VonFranks, but we pulled it together at the 11th hour... Andrew has been battling an ear infection and not quite himself. On Saturday before xmas, Ian got a stomach bug. Poor little guy. It was his first real illness. Not so much fun. On Monday, it hit Andrew and I. HARD! This was not a fun place to be for a couple of days and Andrew and I may never look at eachother the same way, again. So a lot of the last minute Christmas stuff I meant to do did not get done. Christmas morning, we all felt a lot better. Not great, but a lot better. We had a wonderful morning with Grandma and Grandpa eating waffles and opening presents. We came home and opened more presents and got ready for an early dinner at Nancy's house. Oh Yeah. More presents. Ian hadn't napped and did not have much of an appetite, but we made the most of it. He and I went home a a little early and had to unwind. He was so tired, but wanted to play with everything he had gotten that day. It was hard to watch. Eyes half open, sluggish. He was really trying to give everything his equal attention. We finally went to bed. It had been a long day. The next day, we ended up at the doctor. He was not good and I wanted to make sure he didn't have anything serious. He's fine. I just hated to see him not his usual happy, energetic self. Four giant bottles of Gatorade and various foods to "bind him back up" and we are well on our way to recovery. We are off to Massachusetts for New Year's Eve with Brian and Jess and then back to the grind. I'll post a "Best of 2008" when we get back. Have a Happy and Safe New Year.

Big Love,

Sarah
