Family update

Well, things have been going alright here. Just a bit busier than usual, of course it is to be expected with 2 kids now! haha...

Randi has been doing an awesome job though. She is one AWESOME lady and I love her like crazy!

Kaitlyn has really come out of her shell since Dylan go here. Even the ladies at her daycare agreed to that. They said she has changed. The only down side is we aren't sure if it is for the best or not! haha... The little 1/2 sheet of paper we get from daycare each day had a big note written on the back that she was trying to hit and bite the other kids at daycare. So she got lectured from daddy for that. Also her teacher said that when she puts Kaitlyn down for a nap that she can't leave the room or Kaitlyn starts to scream. She also does this at night with Randi and me. We have to sit down on the floor by her bed, or in the rocking chair until she falls asleep. But it is ok. I just take my laptop in there and we listen to her lullaby CD until she falls asleep.

Kaitlyn did develop a pretty bad cough earlier this week, so I took her to the doctor (her OSU doctor, so we had to dress her in her OSU wind suite).  So she ended up getting diagnosed with croop.  So she has been on some medicine for that the rest of the week, into tomorrow.  I messed up this morning though, and gave her medicine to her without giving her food or milk first, and she threw up. And the craziest thing! I held her hair why she did it, and DIDN'T through up! I even got to clean it up!  Nothing like curdled milk and eggs!! Yummy! lol..

Work is ok.  We had our Division Christmas party last weekend.  It was at the new Winstar Golf Course in Thackerville.  So it was sort of neat, I have never been that close to the casino down there.  And the golf course is BEAUTIFUL!!  Our party was in the clubhouse, in a big fancy meeting room with a big balcony overlooking the course (sort of sucked it was dark).  But the whole deal was sort of a big long waste of time.  The food wasn't that great either.  But we each got a bag full of Bedre Chocolates and we got our picture taken with Neal McCoy!  He was putting on a concert at the casino the same night, so they talked him in to coming to the golf course to have his photo taken with our division.  I hope to get my hands on it soon so I can post it.  Randi got to stand right behind him and we were trying to get her to grab his behind, but she didn't do it.. haha.

We also got to go to Randi's office party.  Theirs was much more fun!  It was at the Elk's Lodge in Ada (with an open bar)!! lol..

The folks she works for are awesome though.  The food there was great and they did awards for their salespeople and workers.  It was really neat to see how the company she works for is setup.

Randi did an awesome job too getting us all ready for Christmas here at the house.  She has been running herself ragged getting all the presents gathered and cleaning the house and taken care of the kids.  She even took care of Dylan AND Kaitlyn one day when Kaitlyn couldn't go to daycare!  I'm telling you, she is one awesome woman!

So now we are getting ready for our travels to begin.  We are spending Christmas Eve with Randi's folks and family in Davis, then heading to Stillwater Christmas morning (early!) to spend that day with my folks and family.  Then it is back to work Tuesday.  So we will see everyone along the way!  I hope that everyone is careful and safe this holiday!
