All I want for Christmas is my immune system back...

So I realize I haven't posted in awhile. Obviously, we have been busy with the usual holiday business. I'm assuming all of you have been busy as well or someone (and by someone, I mean one of my sisters) would have called to ask why I haven't updated lately. In addition to all of the Christmas razzle dazzle, I have been fortunate enough to contract a cold/flu simultaneously to what can only be described as a very aggressive stomach flu. Who wants to come over? On the upside, nobody else in the family seems to be this lucky. Thank goodness. My idea of mother/son bonding does not include teaching him how to best aim his vomit into the toilet...at least not until college.
