Long Time no Blog!

So since the last time I blogged Eli has turned 8 months and 9 months and had his first Thanksgiving and Christmas! My life has been so crazy that I haven't gotten to blog!
So around the 10th of December our neighbors hot water heater leaked overnight and came into our house and flooded our entire downstairs...making it pretty much unlivable! And it did not get fixed until Christmas Eve. So that was a ruff time for us not being able to use our kitchen, living room, and dinning room! Praise the Lord for our new floors and carpet!
Christmas turned out wonderful even with all our house drama! Eli had a ball opening gifts and playing with his new toys and the boxes they came in! Daniel bought me a kitchen Aid mixer, and I am loving it! I am now a mash potato queen and I'm going to start experiment with other things soon...like making my own bread! I will let you know how that works out!
For New Years we spent it helping with a surprise party for my best friend Resa and then we went to Brock's and played games and rang in the New Year away from all the drunk and crazy people!
So after New Years day we went to Hilton Head Island with Daniels family for a few days. Unfortunately, it was the coldest that it has been this year but it was still fun! Eli was subdued by the Ocean and even though we froze I got some good pictures!
Finally we just finished getting a ultra sound done on Eli's brain to make sure that there was no fluid on his brain and praise the Lord everything was fine! Our doctor just wanted it done as a precautionary thing because his head grew so fast between his check ups. But all is well!
And now my grandmother is in the hospital with phenomena after her surgery to repair her tendons on her shoulder. The fun never ends at our house! They are hoping to send her to a rehab facility on Monday to help her become more independent so she can go home by herself. So we are very happy that she is doing better and pray she continues to get better every day! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that 2010 has been a good year for all of you so far!
