xmas week

sadie wrote a letter to santa.......
and we went to the post office and mailed it
two weeks later santa replied!!!
yes he aactually wrote a letter back to sadie telling her that mrs. claus was busy cooking cookies and rudolph was making ALL the reindeer exercise in preparations for the long night ahead
it was wonderful and a true little bit of x-mas fun!
silas is talking a mile a minute
he can count to 5 and with help he can count to 10
he loves to sing frosty and the ABC's
he and sadie are really playing together
hye lvoes to follow her around...but like any sibling he likes his quiet moments alone playing with his cars......just like sadie likes to build puzzles without help from destructo bubby!!!
i think we have gotten ever odd bug and germ available
there are days i wonder if we will ever crawl out from under this bad luck of sickness
but we are moving forward....i think (i say this with crossed fingers and a deep sigh)
only a few more days till santa comes down the chimney
sadie and silas are both totally excited
personally i am more excited about the winter solstice and the possibility of more light than anything else.....
still have a long list to try and get done before x-mas....(like get presents sent out...for those of you reading this expecting presents they may be late this year...but we have not forgotten)
so until later enjoy the pictures
our computer is back up and running so lucky you pictures galore!!!!
enjoy the days and stay warm
sending our love from cold and frosty cleveland
ps. sadie and silas both meet santa...and actually sat on his lap it was amazing!!! sadie told santa she wanted a tiana doll and a cheese coloring book and that bubby wanted a car!
