More Santa Pics

A few pics of the kids at "Breakfast with Santa" Saturday morning before T's basketball practice. The past week I have had has been UNBELIEVABLE! Al and I ended up taking Tony to South Pointe Hospital (CC) this past Tuesday evening due to a high fever, rash, upset stomach, and YEP, a sore throat. STREP THROAT was immediately diagnosed and he was given an antibiotic and motrin to help speed up the healing time. He ended up missing three days of school because of all of this, but is now on the mend and getting back to his old self. Ana, on the otherhand, may need to visit one of those "Minute Clinic's" in the morning with Al while I teach Sunday School. She's all congested, running a fever...you know, probably caught it from T...What can you do, really?

I am way behind on preparing for Christmas. I haven't even gotten my cards out, done ANY FORM of Christmas Shopping, let alone begun to prepare the "ROAD TRIP" that Tim, Denise, Steph, Syd, Rah Rah (Sara), Ana and I are planning on taking down to see Aunt Debi and Deana in South Carolina. We are leaving Cleveland early in the morning the day after Christmas to visit "The Mulanax Ladies" for a short visit. I honestly cannot wait to see them, especially Deana...it's been a while, and she has yet to meet Ana in person. Believe me, all seven of us are looking so forward to seeing you guys and your warmer weather:)

Oh, Tim now has a Christmas Tree. I helped him set one up at his new place this afternoon. Tim, on an personal level..I hope it brings you good memories of past Christmas's shared together as family, along with the love and the warmth of The Holiday Season. Thanks for being such a Great Big Brother with your listening ears and encouraging words. YOU ARE THE BEST! I looked at you at Bob's Big Boy today as we were having lunch together...You ARE a spitting image of Dad...You have his eyes, his "laid back" attitude and just his "looks" all around. I miss him and Mom too:)
I really hope all is well with the readers of my Blog:) Still getting the hang of it, Mindy, Jen K, Tara, Gina, NiCole and the rest of NorthEastern Ohio Guatemalan Families:) Again, it was GREAT seeing all of you last weekend!11 shopping days' til Christmas...I guess I better "Get Going!"
