Getting Ready

We're getting ready for the arrival of family for Thanksgiving. We're so excited to see everyone! (And hopefully the cuteness of the babies will distract people so they don't notice that the house is messier than usual.)

There's been a wrench thrown into our original plans, though. Cousin Daniel has a cold. (This is his first time in daycare, so he's had an illness of one sort or another pretty much constantly all fall, but this one started this weekend.) Our pediatrician did not think it was a good idea to expose the babies to cold germs, so Aunt Nora and family are delaying their arrival to see if they can get past the most contagious and runny-nose stage. Hopefully it will work out -- it won't feel like Thanksgiving without them here! (I think Nora would not approve of my just misting Daniel with Lysol every time he walks by.)

Of course we couldn't escape without some type of medical appointment this week. Matthew's blood pressure was up a little bit, so we had to pop by the pediatrician's office to get it checked again. It's still a bit higher than they'd like, so they've upped his medicine a little bit.

Hope you are all doing well heading into the holiday weekend!
