OK. So It has been crazy here in the Freakley household and not because Christmas is around the corner.
First let me do a super short Thanksgiving blog before Christmas does get here!
Here is a shot of all but myself and Connor to the right of me, eating the best Thanksgiving meal yet. All 14 of us gathered around the table. That was for sure something to be thankful for and for all the hands that prepared it. We had a great time and Quarters 1 at Fort Knox could not have been a better gathering place for all of us!
Few more shots:
Marmie and Grandaddy with their grand kids:
Ben 2 1/2, Connor 1, Daniel 2 1/2, and Anna 6 months
Thanks again for hosting us and everything you all did to make it comfortable and fun for the kids!
There are like literally 189 pictures posted on shutterfly of the weekend.
After Thanksgiving we did a quick Happy 1st B-day Connor casual "stress-free" party. I did post that.
Then everything went south from there. I had picked up shifts Ben was out of town a ton. The kids got a cough and runny nose and occasional fevers. Kept having to call out for work. Couldn't take the kids to day care. We kept the doctor busy eventually Connor's turned into pneumonia and he got admitted then got worse during the night and we were transferred to MCG Children's hospital to the pediatric ICU. Can wait for the bill of the ambulance ride...1 hour and 20 minutes with PICU nurse and respiratory therapist (I will make sure I post it!). Five days later Connor got to go home. I the mean time Ben starts running a fever - "Lita" had come to the rescue by then - and Ben had to cancel going this big important soccer thing he had arranged. Monday took Ben to MD. He not only has pneumonia but strep throat to top it all off! Both are thankfully getting better but not well enough to leave town as planned, we have follow up appointments and chest x-rays and all that good stuff.
Some pictures at the hospital:
Poor sweet little Connor : (
Needless to say all my last minute things are not done. Thankfully I had already done most of the Christmas shopping, taken care of all of the kids on the list (except ours) and Christmas cards, but the adults are going to have to be shorted temporarily-including my sweet husband :( All we are hoping for is a healthy Christmas at this point!
