Exercise

One of my many New Years resolutions that I've made for this year has included exercising. Last night I went swimming for the first time in a long time. I haven't really swam laps since I was on the swim team in high school - yeah, and I was feeling it after about 10 minutes of swimming. And after about 15 minutes, I was ready to go. Ugh...I didn't give up though. I went for 40 minutes; I know, big whoop! But hey, I'm trying! I just need to work my way up.

Christmas

So the holidays. It all started when Jeremiah came home sick from work on Christmas Eve (I don't know why everyone isn't off on Christmas Eve). He said it was the sickest he's ever felt. Yeah! Our daughters first Christmas and my husband stuck with his head in the bucket. He ended up staying home on Christmas Eve-missing out on church and his family Christmas. I did try to keep him involved by calling (only once) and texting to see how he was doing.

Christmas morning he felt a little better; not up to par, but better. Luckily he was able to celebrate with the rest of us.

My brother & sister-in-law got T a huge stuffed donkey (Thanks for that Jess & Dave)-in honor of Nestor (our real donkey - let me rephrase that Jeremiah's donkey). I don't know if I have pictures. I'll have to post pictures of both donkeys...maybe posed together.

Christmas night ended with both Jeremiah and T sleeping next to the fireplace while G'Ma, Me, Jess, Dave & G'Pa were drinking in the kitchen. Happy Holidays!

P.S. Here's a picture from our trip to see Santa.
