Ya know, now Eddy can walk around and tell people you stabbed him.

Just kidding, I know you feel like crap.

By the way, don't forget, I still live 5 minutes from you, if you got kids going in all directions like that, just pick up the phone, I can always grab a couple. It's just something less on your mind in an emergency.

yesterday i took down all my christmas stuff. i think it's the first time we ever had everything down and packed away on new years day.

now i'm off to find some strawberrys to make homemade jelly for the freezer.

I really think I need to hang out with you, maybe some of your energy, lol, will rub off on moi.

I still need to take down my tree. Last year I left the outside lights up till Valentines ~ they're in the shape of a heart, that was my only excuse. As for making jams, you make me miss my Gramma, I used to love watching her make jams, & she made the best jams from her homegrown strawberries. We grandkids even helped pick 'em out of the backyard garden, which was huge. (This was Tenn.) Oh, and the maters were better than any you could find here. Now strawberries are good anywhere, but we can't do the tomatoes justice around here.

I haven't stopped by in a while, December was pretty busy. I am sure it was for most of us, but I'd like to catch up a little now.

Around our house we ended 2008 not having to put away decorations because we didn't decorate. We left town twice in December so we ran short of time to do the big decorating. This has got to be the last year we'll do that, I love the holidays and I missed the decorations. Plus with a young son we'll want to make the holidays special for him.

Both times we went out of town to visit Joey's Nanalaine and Papa in Georgia. It was good to go visit but being a new mom it managed to stress me out plenty. I over packed both times because I wasn't sure what we'd need. I also stressed both times because so many of the people we wanted to visit with were sick (thankfully not his Nanalaine and Papa.) Despite being sick they all wanted to meet Joey. I don't know how we managed it but we didn't catch any of those colds (knock on wood we keep it that way.)

Now we are settled back in at home and I'm back to trying to get this place clean and organized. I've cleaned out my closet and the dresser drawers now the biggest issues left to deal with are the office, spare bedroom closet and my husband is taking care of cleaning out the garage! Yeah husband!

Jen! How glad to have you back! How sweet this was your little Joey's first Christmas.

Show us pics if you get a chance (please)

Don't beat yourself up on the December. I think it must be crazy for everyone- at least I hope that is why PolkMoms visit numbers are down

Hey it was crazy for me- FOR SURE! So, know I'm with you at least

Thanks for your wonderful update and Happy New Year- and oh yeah, don't be a stranger

We took the Christmas Tree down on Saturday.
My youngest son (3 years old) actually cried. He was so excited when we put it up - I guess he thought that it would stay there forever.
He made me feel so bad taking it down.
I said, Well we can't keep it up all year.
He said ''Why Not''.
I felt so bad. It almost made me cry.

boys mommy my 3 yr old was the same way. she was very upset that the christmas stuff came down. she told me now santa wont come. i told her he will come next december.

I'm going through the exact same thing with my four year old. He thinks that if he puts on his reindeer jammies that Santa will come. He was so sad that the tree came down, he told me to put it back up and put the decorations back where they belong. I was stunned as I really did not think he was paying that much attention!

I am so glad that the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over!!

Lol I think some of you doubted I maimed Eddy-

I posted the pictures of us going to the Outback bowl. Since then I have had people email me saying, "they see no boo- boo". Trust me, it's there.

We went to the Outback bowl 11 days after the "incident".

I think he did heal really well and fast on the outside.

Since I last posted, Eddy went to Dr. Serge Jean at Watson clinic- I LOVE THIS DOCTOR!

He is the one that fixed my breathing problems- I can breath sooooo good now! We used him for Eddy since I had such good results.

While at the appointment, Dr. Jean found another break in Eddy's MRI.

Eddy at this point has a 50/50 chance of a possible need for surgery

ya'll please cross your fingers that he will heal well with out

If you want to take a peek at his "before" pic, check it out

Oh no! Here's hoping he won't need surgery!

WOW Shawn - Thats quite a recovery for just a week and a half! Im surprised theres not more bruising. Glad to see things are getting better now.

Shawn- I saw the PIC! AHHHH! This will remind me never to mess with you! LOL.

I admit I did go back to the Outback bowl pics to see his eye and I did notice something there, but wow on the pic you just posted, tell Eddy we are praying he doesn't need surgery.
