A Breif Synopsis of the Last Few Weeks

December 10th-  James born.

Dec 12-30-  Completed the following projects (forgot to take pictures of the sewing projects):  
  • Christmas cookies, Peppermint bark
  • Six "Everything Totes" from Weekend Sewing
  • Two "Red Riding Hood Capes" from Little Things to Sew
  • Three flax and lavender hot packs made from old dress shirts
Dec 31-  James develops fever, instructed to go to the ER by on-call MD.  Fever continues, James has a chest x-ray, nasal swab, spinal tap, gets catheterized, gets an IV and is admitted to the hospital for 48 hours for observation and IV antibiotics.  I stay with him the whole time.  He remained his peaceful sleepy self through the whole ordeal and I watched the first season of Downton Abbey.

Jan 2nd-  James discharged from hospital, we rush home, I have just enough time to pack a bag and we leave for the airport, just making it to the gate in time for the final boarding call.

Jan 2nd-8th-  Back to back social events.

Jan 7th (the night before we return home to MI)-  Danny flings himself across the bath tub and bangs head on faucet...  requires four stitches in head.  Return home from the ER at 10pm.

Jan 8th-  Arrive at airport with plenty of time!  Return to MI.

Jan 9th-  Chris works 19 days in a row.

Jan 14-  Sign lease for new house.  (More on this later, very exciting!) 

Jan 16-20-  Matthew, Chris and I have the stomach flu.  I discover that my milk lets down every time I throw up, making me doubly dehydrated.  All the boys also get a wicked cold, Danny has to go back on his inhaler.  Begin packing for move on Feb 1st.
