OH CHRISTMAS TREE


since we were not able to go north, yesterday we went hunting for the perfect tree at a lot. it was costly, but it is quite a beautiful tree. we have spent the afternoon decorating it with close to 100 ornaments. every year as i put the ornaments that were made by the kids in school and church, lots of fun memories come flooding back. oh, how i would love those days to come back. life was so much easier. i was more physically exhausted then, but now i am more emotionally exhausted. i think physical exhaustion is easier to overcome. we look forward to having josh, tova, and painter here for christmas. last year was a blast with all of us together. like i said before, anytime with family is a fun time.

it has been an exhausting week with zaeda sick. she was on oral ibuterol to help her lungs. she got all the side affects. it was scary. she was literally crawling out of her skin. she would scream and cry for a half an hour at a time. she could not sleep. she was irratable and not herself at all. she hit us and kicked us. i was scared to death. i hardly got any sleep so i am now sick as a dog. it was all i could do to go to church and trim the tree. hope it does not last as long on me as it did on zae. she is finally feeling better today. we hope she continues on her rode to recovery. thanks for your prayers. merry christmas to all of you. luv, el
