Graham's First Visit with Santa

Graham had a weekend of firsts! Some good, some not so good. Friday Graham got sent home from daycare with 103 degree temperature.:( His Dr. said that there was a virus going around. By Saturday, he was feeling a little better. Less lathargic, more smiles. By Sunday, he was tired, but no fever! The virus didn't seem to damper Graham's first visit with Santa! As long as he didn't see that it was Santa holding him, he did great! The second he saw that it was Santa holding him, fear and anxiety set in. We were able to get some good pictures. Graham had a fun weekend virus or not playing with his cousins Joei and Tayden. He loves to give moochies, (open mouth, wet kisses), and he is becoming a professional waver. He can wave hand open, hand closed, or the whole arm waive. We are so proud of him.

All together for the Holidays!

Promotion in the family

Yesterday Tedd was offered the Coordinator position for the department he has been working with for the last 3 years! He spent a decent portion of the morning negotiating for a salary that the hospital and he could agree on. Just before lunch, they presented Tedd an offer that they both could agree on. So... That means Tedd is the new Coordinator of the Cardiac Rehabilitation at North Kansas City Hospital! Yeah!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Graham survived his first Thanksgiving without a major tummy ache. We went to Memaw and Papaw's house, where Memaw put on quite the spread. I think my tummy still hurts from all the good cooking. It was nice to have everyone there. I know it made Memaw very happy. Joei, Tayden and Graham all thought that my lap was the best seat in the house. (I certainly didn't mind one bit!). Graham ate mashed potatoes, just like Daddy, minus the gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and corn. For dessert, he ate some pumpkin pie and then Auntie shared her 4-layer dessert with him. Graham in return shared it with his teacher, Miss Maryanne, on Friday! Saturday called for snow and we got it! Graham wasn't sure what to think of it. It was pretty cold, so we didn't stay out too long. I think he'll love the snow when he starts walking.
