Yikes! I didn't realize that it's been almost two weeks since I've posted. Things have just been a little busy around here!

Ellie has been having some rough bouts again with her DGE and reflux. To top it off, she's most likely allergic to her rice cereal. Blah. We got her meds adjusted and don't go back to GI until January (hopefully).

We got a new car! Yay! We broke down and got a van. No, it wasn't our first choice but there just aren't any practical 3 row SUV's. It's really nice and we love it. We got a 2008 silver Kia Sedona. We got an awesome price and rate and best of all, they weren't totally annoying.

Emme is on break this coming up week from school for Thanksgiving. I'll say it will be nice to not have to rush around like a mad man next week. I'm sure she'll miss going but we'll have fun at home.

We attempted to celebrate Josh's birthday last night with some friends and coworkers. We went to Matsu (a sushi and Japanese restaurant in Westport) and had a great time. We were then headed to Power and Light but when we parked Josh realized he didn't have his wallet. By the time we'd get home to get the wallet and get back downtown it would be almost midnight, so we (really Josh) opted to stay home. I know he was a little disappointed. Darn it! :(

We got a lot of our Christmas shopping done. Well, all of the kids are done at least. Emme, Ellie, Karson, Kennedy, Leah and Tommy. We got Emme a really cool dollhouse. I can't wait to see her open it!

We've got a few busy weeks coming up. 'Tis the season, right? We had Josh's thing last night, a drama writing thing at our house tonight, a haircut and dinner with a couple at our house tomorrow, Thanksgiving next week, Josh's dads birthday next Friday, Josh's family dinner next Sunday, Josh's actual birthday on Monday, two Christmas parties the next weekend (5th and 6th), work Christmas party and a wedding. Whew! I'm tired just typing it all out.

Well, I need to get off here. I've gotta make the grocery list and my weekly menu!
