elusive wellness

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, usually my favorite day of the year, and I had hoped we would all be well and healthy. It doesn't look like that will be the case. Dennis seems okay but over tired. David still doesn't have his voice or energy back. And I seem to have contracted a rapid onset ear infection that HURTS. It looks like we will not be going to the mountains after all, not for a couple more weeks. Though I'm a bit disappointed (and I know Dennis will be), I'm hopeful that resting at home this week will cure all 3 of us.

Dennis was very well behaved at church this morning and answered every question I asked about the Christmas story. He made a card for Gran and Pop also that I'm hoping didn't get left behind today. He wrote them an email tonight, a short one, in response to the ones they are sending us to update us on Belize life. He gets a bit sad when he talks about them, and I'm wondering how our week will go without the trip he was excited about. He will have fabulous new things from Santa to occupy his time, and I hope that will help.

He asked us today which of our vehicles he could have when he is old enough to drive. We told him he'd probably want something a little newer when that time comes. He decided he will get a van, a little red car like Gigi's, and a red Jeep. That ought to take car of his driving needs!
