Christmas Tree 2010

We finally got our tree all decorated (and lighted -- thanks Jake!) and I think we did a pretty good job ;)





And I think an update on Daniel is in order; thank you to anyone who kept him in their prayers -- they totally worked and we are so thankful! I took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with a major sinus infection. The pediatrician said the sinus infection was the cause of all of his symptoms, which was actually really good news. I thought we were in for treatment of about three different ailments (strep throat/pinkeye/ear infection). The wonderful thing is that she was able to prescribe an antibiotic and a steroid (he was so congested he needed it to help bring the swelling down) and within about 6 hours of starting these medications I was noticing definite improvement. What a miracle!

And by the next afternoon he was able to join us on our trip to the Christmas tree farm,. That was pushing it a bit since it wore him out for the rest of the evening, but we felt it was worth it as he (and I) would have been so sad to have missed out. Anyway, great news overall and he is doing really well by now. So much better than when I took that sad picture!
