Christmas is almost here

I have really neglected this blog for the last couple of weeks. I have felt so overwhelmed with all of us being sick at various times during the last month. I think we are all healthy this week.
Now it's almost Christmas and it's time for us to get ready to drive to KC. The boys and I will be staying with our family for 9 days while Joe flies back during the week to work. I am excited to see friends and family and have help with my kids. I will even get to go to a movie or two and eat out with adults.
What else is happening... Braden turned 1 yesterday. He had his checkup and he is a tiny peanut! He only weighs 17lbs and is in the 3rd percentile for weight and tenth for height. He eats so much food and I don't know where it's all going! As long as he's healthy I'm happy he's so little. It's easier for me to carry him. He isn't quite walking on his own yet, still holding on to stuff and only taking 2 steps by himself.
Zane's new school building opens Jan 4th. It will be great for him to have such a nice place for his preschool. He will have the same teacher, class & bus but it will all be at a wonderful, brand new building.
