Sick and Tired of being sick

Its now January 18th and Mommy is on her 5th antibiotic since Thanksgiving. Went to a different ENT specialist and he basically said to stop the use of the antibiotic. I also went and had a catscan done to see exactly whats going on with my sinus' and I need to have my ammune system analyzed to see why when someone sneezes around me - I then get the flu! The boys are still coughing when running outdoors but have improved much since New Years day. Not an exciting month! but we'll turn this around soon!!

Wow! A Christmas to Remember

This year the boys are 1 month shy of being 2 and it was so very special. On Christmas Eve we went to Uncle Rob's house and had our seven fishes and hung out with family and opened an unbelievable amount of gifts. Paulie is a homebody and has a tough time warming up in other people houses and actually grabs his coat and throws it at me constantly (his way of saying - I want to go home, and this time we almost did). Although they don't really know that Santa was coming they woke up and saw a bunch of presents, Anthony and Paulie are very rountine and really took a look at the presents and then walked right to the table and demanded their breakfast (this could very well just be a Yanni boy thing). We showed them how to open their gifts and it was a BUNCH of fun. They got just way too many gifts to name! One of the very special presents was a handmade train table by Pop Pop - We LOVE IT!!! Paul and I decided this year we are staying home Christmas and hanging with the boys - we told our parents to stop by our house. So what was expected to be a small party of 6 turned into a party of 18! yes eighteen! in my itty bitty home - and the gifts again were UNREAL!! their Uncle Artie & Uncle Anthony bought the boys a 30" flat screen HD TV and their not even 2 yet! this was just the start of all the gifts. I made an executive decision not to give them all these presents at once as it would be way too over whelming for them and they really didn't know the difference. Besides their birthday too is around the corner. So to all our friends and family - thank you SO VERY MUCH for making this Christmas a wonderfully warm and happy one. As for New Years Eve: Paul, the kids and I were in bed at 9:30! unfortunately all sick! oh well. Happy New Year!!
