we're alive!

sorry i have kept you all in suspense re: emerson! she is alive and well -- doing much better than earlier this week!

we were at the ER the last time i posted, then we saw her ped the next day. she's just finishing her meds up today and she's much better. still coughing up a lung at times, but otherwise she is good to go! thanks for all of the notes from you all :)

so we have had a busy week! thursday morning was kai's christmas concert and party at playschool. i have some pictures and video that i'll post asap... might not be until after christmas though... and friday afternoon was hallie's concert and party. they both had a lot of fun! thursday evening we had auntie kara for a MESSY supper and visiting (and lots of silliness!)after! friday evening we had auntie lindsey visiting after supper and she stayed to help me wrap presents and we watched a chick flick, and pigged out! (or at least i did!! oops!) it was so nice to see them both again, we don't get to see each other often enough! the kids LOVED having someone other than mom read them their bedtime stories too!

today, saturday, i spent the ENTIRE day out -- i took the girls and we were at future shop, and IKEA. took us all day.... yikes! tonight after the kids were in bed, i made a run to the west end and i managed to drop off some christmas cards and i got groceries at the GRANGE safeway, to take advantage of their air miles deal!! woo hoo! 400 air miles when you spend $150. i was only $25 away from 600 air miles but i wasn't sure what else to buy!??

it was a day full of spending money which makes me cringe, but it was a lot of fun too ;) -- says me, the shop-a-holic!! LOL

oooooooooo my www.bookcloseouts.com order arrived today, YAY!! i have one more order coming hopefully soon. we also received another ebay package but i didn't get the 1 package i NEEDED by christmas, so i'll have to mail grandma's gift after christmas. i hope she doesn't mind.

ok i should get some sleep... it's 1:18am and i don't think i'm getting my thoughts out properly.... i need to upload some pics but i can't tonight... soon though!
