December 18th

All is well. Besides Mario's ear/eye infection, Eva ended up with an ear infection. We left the kids with Aaron and Sarah (bless their hearts!) for the weekend and went to Whistler. It was nice to get away. Mario did fine! Eva always does fine with Isabel to play with. Israel's swearing in is Thursday this week...I said it wrong in last post. Good though cuz they'll take his green card and he'll have to apply for a passport and wait...so would have been bad to be greencardless over the weekend going in/out of Canada! I came home with a sinus infection, so I'm plodding along through work today...yuck. Mario has clinic on the 27th so we won't have any major updates before then unless the pager goes off.

Everyone have a wonderful holiday! Thank you for all your cards, care packets, presents. I'm sorry to say I have done NOTHING this year. Not even put together a stack of holiday cards to mail...It has been so hectic. Please know we are thinking of you all during the holiday and wish you nothing but happiness in the new year.
