Happy 2009!!

Wow!! I sure have neglected my poor blog.. Well here goes the mad cap recap of my last few weeks/Holidays..

Christmas Eve ~ Faith went to the mall with PopPop to get gifts for MomMom..PopPop said that she made him take her to the Disney Store and the Build a Bear store ! LOL That's my girl!! Dad had fun on their little excursion (as told by MomMom later on) and I was glad that Faith got to spend some quality time with her PopPop.. I normally go it's been a tradition for as many years as I can remember to go with My Dad on Christmas Eve and get my Mom's gifts from him. I have the list and I usually end up wrapping too!! It was always something I looked forward to as a child and even as an adult I still do..
Went to work at 6p to the Tropicana, had a very uneventful evening considering there were a heck of a lot of people at the Casino!! Came home at 4a to put stuff in stockings... Santa had already put the gifts out..Kids got up at around 8a and WAITED a WHOLE 2 hours until they could unwrap there gifts.. 10a Faith came barreling into the bedroom to wake me up!! SANTA WAS HERE!! and then ran out!!
Kids unwrapped and even though we did not get them much were happy with what they received. (Of course Santa stopped at MomMom and PopPop's house too ) I went back to work and missed all the fun at MomMom and PopPop's. My relief came early :) and so I met my hubby and kids at my parents house..at my cold christmas dinner then opened my gifts from my Mom..:) I got a visa gift card..which I turned into a jukebox and cricut cartridge!!
Day afte Christmas we went to Mike and Cindy's and not much else. Emilee and Faith were a bit under the weather so we stayed close to home..
We stayed home for the most part besides me working for the most part of the week cause of Emilee with good reason.. 2 minutes after the ball dropped on New Year's Eve Bryan took Emilee to SMH to the ER ..Verdict Pneumonia..
She was getting better or so I thought then 2 days prior she started with the fever and then the cough from hell.. So New Year's Eve day she awoke with goop coming out of her eyes..apparently she had so much crud in her head it was leaking out of her eyes..YUCK!!
Thank God for a dear friend who earlier in the week sent us a huge financial gift.. He said God laid it on his heart that he needed to give us the money.. God is so good!! I did not realize until now just how that money was going to come in handy..We have no insurance so all the medicine I have bought this week we could not have been able to afford without that gift..
Oh yeah..Bryan had surgery on his shoulder Jan. 2
He had 2 tears in his labrium and some minor tears to the rotator cuff. He's on the mend but will be out of commission until May!!

I am praying that 2009 gets better and this is the final hump that we need to get over in order to have a successful year!!
Happy 2009!!
