Some of you may have noticed that we still haven't sent out Christmas cards or letters this year. We may not. Certainly, we are in good health and overall, we've had a year, but man, I for one am glad that this one is almost over. January started out with a bang when we took Bubba to the emergency room on January 1st. At his follow up appointment with the pediatrician later that week, he was admitted to the hospital for a few days. They stuck an IV into his head, and he had to wear a rubber cap over it to protect the IV site. He also wore socks on his hands for a while to control his constant tugging on the IV line. Yuck. It was a sad and scary time, and even though he had a fever, he was cold because of all the fluids he was getting.
That was followed by us pulling Bubba (he says "bubba" now, by the way) out of daycare and a difficult search for a nanny. It seemed as if the year really never got much better, and if you're reading this, you have at least a passing familiarity with the saga that we're currently embroiled in. Sure, it won't actually conclude in 2010 (thanks to a certain attorney who will remain annonymous), but I'm counting on that ending in early 2011. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if our troubles were at all associated with the year of the Tiger (Chinese horoscope), and I'm hoping that the Rabbit will be kinder to our family.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on 2010. We did have a spectacular hike on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and a wonderful time in Peru (followed by an OK time in Ecuador). Scooter learned to climb trees and ride bikes. We spent a really fun weekend with my sisters and their families in Saint Louis. I got a new job that's really fantastic and fun and challenging (which I may have to leave, depending on the outcome of our current situation). There I go again, Debbie Downer. Wah-wah-wah-wah....
