Appointment...

Today I had the pleasure of taking Ben to his appointment in Iowa City. I rarely get to go with him anymore because I am still at work at 3:30 in the afternoon, so Nick has been taking him. Our winter break started today so I got to take him today. This kid is just straight up amazing by the way... he is cool, calm, and collected while he gets his blood drawn and while he receives his medication injection! I am so proud of him! Also, while we were gone, Conner had to stay home alone, and he did an awesome job of managing his time at home! Ben said I did an excellent job of driving and parking in the ramp. AND his platelet count today is 99k, which is higher than last week, so we were pretty happy!

 

Updated...

This is our updated tree and present display! Christmas is almost here!

 

Yearbook Photos...

Our school district did not have Fall pictures taken this year, so the boys' school had asked if we would send a photo for the yearbook. So, after many takes, these are the two winning pictures that we will submit for the boys' yearbook photos!

 

Light Tradition...

One tradition that we can keep during this crazy Christmas season is going over to the Blue Creek Christmas light show by Walker. We got our hot cocoa and enjoyed the show!

 

Ready!

Most of the presents are wrapped and ready!!!

 

Snow!

We got a few inches of snow over night, so we were pretty excited to get outside today!

 

Jerseys!

The boys had a great week at school! We did a little shopping today and they were able to pick out a new shirt... they both are really into jerseys right now, so they picked out these random football jerseys and were pretty happy with their little reward!
