Doctor, Doctor...

We started the week off with a trip to the doctor. Both boys had thrush, which is like a yeast infection in your mouth. Both of their mouths were white inside and looked like they had a bunch of formula in their mouths. So I had to go to the Walgreens pharmacy, AGAIN!! The antibiotics are working quickly and it has already cleared up.

We have been working hard at wrapping up all our Christmas shopping. My mom came up on Monday and left today, it was nice to have her here to help out. The boys really enjoyed having her visit with them and tell them riddles. They would just sit and gaze at her and kick their legs.

Tonight we had our little family Christmas- I will be sure to post pics later.

We have spent about the last six hours packing up for our trip to Iowa. We are pretty much packing everything we own for the boys. We decided to leave tomorrow morning instead of Friday because of the ice and snow on its way. We will be heading to Sibley first to Keith's parents, then on Sunday we will stop in the Algona area to visit Keith's grandparents on Monday and then we plan to be in Baxter Monday through Sunday. Hopefully the weather cooperates with our schedule. We haven't been home since September, so I am really excited to get back and see everyone. One of our first stops will be to Skiff hospital in Newton. We have had a run of bad luck these past couple weeks. My grandma Bucklin had a stroke about two weeks ago, then my grandpa Kalma has been ill and is at Skiff as well. Grandma has been working hard and doing really well with her rehab. Grandpa hasn't been doing quite as well, today is his 89th birthday. Neither have had a chance to meet the boys so I am anxious to get them there.
