Christmas 2007

As I said, there is never dull moment in the Libby household. Why should Christmas be any different!?!? After playing Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and barely sleeping that night (not because of excitement for Christmas morning!), Mr. and Mrs. Claus woke up very sick! Some stomach bug just hit both us during the night. It was a struggle to get through the gifts with the kids. We figured we would skip dinner at my aunt's and still make it to my mom's to exchange gifts with everyone but that wasn't happening. We couldn't get out of the house. I felt so bad for the kids. Dave and I had no strength to do anything. So we spent the day taking turns taking care of the kids and taking naps. It was really hard for me because I felt like we missed Christmas...something we had been preparing for for so long and a day that you really want to make special for the kids. I hope Josiah still had a fun first Christmas! The kids were really great all day. Caleb finally understood that something wasn't right with mom and dad and he was a big help all day. The both took long naps which gave us some much needed rest.
Fortunately, it was only a 24 hour bug (of course why those 24 hours out of 365 days of the year?!?!) and we were able to exchange gifts with my family the next day. We are now fully recovered and I can share the moments we did capture. I hope you enjoy them and that you all had a wonderful (and healthy Christmas)! Happy New Year!!!!!

Tech Savvy

WOW! Look at me creating a blog...I'm so tech savvy! I needed a little push to do it (thank you Mary!) but here it is! I'm excited to use this blog to stay in touch with so many of you that are far away. I'm not sure how often the updating will happen at this point. I'd love to make it happen once a week but we will see...I'm not making any promises! So put this blog address in your favorites and check it out from time to time to see how our family is doing...especially to see how our boys are growing! At this point, my computer is being uncooperative with allowing me to post pictures but look for them soon! I'm sure we will many Christmas shots to share with you. Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
