Christmas pageant

Bryant had his Christmas pageant at Parent's Day Out yesterday. He was one of the three Wisemen and did such a great job. If you haven't watch a grand performance by 3 and 4 year olds recently, I highly recommend you find one to watch. (I tried to upload one so you could have the great experience but it wouldn't work :( It is such a joy and can bring a big smile to your face.




Randomness

Here are some random updates from my family to yours :O

Chad is completing his radiation this week!!! WooHoo!! He's done great and all has been well. He'll be super happy to not have to drive to Dallas everyday at lunch. He'll continue to have check-ups to see if it all worked so we just continue to pray the tumor does not grow any more.

I went to the eye doctor last week and kept joking that they better not find anything wrong with my eyes. Well, lo and behold, they did. I have a small hole in my retina. The doctor said it is not doing anything right now but wants to keep and eye on it. I will go back in 4 months to check how all of that is going. We pray that it heals and nothing comes of this.

Bryant and Casey had strep last week. Not fun times at all around the Sands' house then. It really did a number on Bryant and the poor boy was pretty sick for a couple of days. On Monday, Casey ran fever and had an ear infection. Sweet baby Dayden has stayed clear of these illnesses but the poor thing has a yucky cold, which we are hoping is coming to an end. It's been a glorious week of the yucks around here. Oh how I love winter time :)

Dayden turned 2 months old recently and has grown quite a bit. He weighed in at 13lbs 2oz. That's a whopping 4lbs more than his birth weight. He is such a sweet little boy who loves to smile and "talk". He likes to try to sit up while you're holding him. He's ready to be a big boy and play with his brothers. Thankfully his brothers still love him...for now!!

That's the Sands' wrap up of the past week or so. It's been busy, entertaining, fun, and sometimes not so fun, but it's been great :)

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving in Breckenridge. We got to see and visit with a lot of family. We showed off Dayden and Bryant and Casey just showed off :)

Ashley, Chad, and I completed the first "annual" AAC Turkey Trot!!!

Dayden's first Thanksgiving and as you can see he is "thankful for mommy"!
