Opening gifts

Sledding in Pierre

I have a ton to tell you about, but wanted you to see this video. If you get motion sickness from home videos, this video might not be for you. Or perhaps you could take a Dramamine as an h'ordeurve while you wait for the clip to buff. As always, it's up to you.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Dreams

What do you think it means when you dream that you live in a trailer.....

and have a full size buffalo as an indoor pet?

Oh my!

Claire's hat

This picture was taken of Peach in October of 2006. Isn't she adorable? So cute. She loves that hat.

I was whipping through the closet the other day trying to find something causing the hat to resurface. Claire couldn't have been happier. I told her that the hat didn't fit her anymore, but she wasn't having it.

She put it on.

What was I thinking?

'Like a glove'. ;)

Jack counts and Claire's gellin'?

I TOTALLY! thought she said she was gellin'.

...because I think it's adorable

Are you ready?

If you are one of my clients, you'll be asking and asked this question.

Are you ready for Christmas?

I ask every single client this and they ask me. My answer is no, I'm not ready. I have some things, but I have quite a bit more to get. I have Nathan and Claire's big Santa gifts, but very little for Jack. He's still so young and easy to buy for. It's nothing a trip to Toys R us can't fix.

I don't have my Christmas cards done. Done? I haven't even started them. I planned to do that this past weekend until the flu knocked on the door. Damn flu.

This weekend I'm working until 2 on Saturday and then Tracy and I are taking the kids to see Winnie the Pooh in Brookings on Sunday. I'm looking forward to that. It will be Claire and Caymen's first time at something like this. As usual, we have almost front row seats if I remember right. I think Tracy and I got our tickets way back in June. It should be fun.

However, when am I going to get my Christmas letter done?

I have an idea. I think I'll buy some really fancy Christmas paper. I'll make the heading "Greetings from the Meyer's". Then the body will say something catchy like 'We've had a busy year. You can read all about it on my blog. We hope you're all doing great." The end.

Usually I'm excited to write the Christmas letter, but this year I'm not feeling it. Christmas is coming fast - so fast that I feel like I can hear a clock ticking in my ear; tick, tick, tick......

Anyway, today I'm going with my Mom to see the Neurologist. I'm not sure what to expect from him. I think the only thing he can do to help her is give her medication for her MS. I guess we'll see. I'll also get some shopping done. Maybe I'll somehow be inspired to write my letter. (That last part was a complete lie. It's just not going to happen.)

So back to my question.....

Are you ready?

Quick update

I don't have much time, but I thought I'd better update.

Early Sunday morning, Claire woke up at 12:30 throwing up. She was down and out for about 2 days.

Early Tuesday morning, Nathan woke up at 12:30 throwing up. He was down for only one day.

I came home sick from work yesterday.

We all seem to be better today.

Justin and Jack have yet to get it. We hope to keep it that way.

There you have it - quick!

This makes my day

The other night, Justin and I were watching TV when this video came on. I, of coarse, LOVED it. Justin thought it was pretty good too. He happens to like Brad Paisley - and I do too, but I love Keith. :)

You'll have to watch either GAC for CMT for it. It's good. Watch for Keith at the end of the video - he blows in Brad's ear. Funny! I found the video on, well, you know where. It was a bit hard to see on my computer screen - but my computer screen needs to go. Ohhhhh Santa.......

Not your daddy

I was reading this article on CNN.com when Jack came over and started pointing at the man in the picture. He said "Daddy! Daddy!" over and over. When I shrunk the story down he said "Where Daddy go?" This is the man he was talking about. See the resemblance? I think it's the hair.

O! so cute :)

I think it's pretty cool that Jack is 2 years old and knows an O when he sees it. He thinks 0 (zero) is an O too. As it would turn out, we have O's all over the house. I have one on my Columbia coat. I have one on my Madison shirt too. As you'll see, I have two on my Broncos shirt. Who knew an O could bring so much joy? Need I remind you that this is coming from the little boy who needed therapy? The little boy who leaned to the left? The little boy who now says O!

Sometimes I feel like life sucks. Then - I hear this precious little voice say O! Who knew it could bring so much joy? Who freakin' knew?
