Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Ankeny, IA at Craig's sister and brother-in-law's. The whole family was there. Our little nephew, Noah, was also baptized that weekend. It was nice to all be there for that. We had BEAUTIFUL weather!! I don't remember a nicer Thanksgiving. Looks like that will be over tonight as we are suppose to get a winter storm!!!! Thanks Peterson's for hosting us all and making it such a nice Thanksgiving!

A MIRACLE!!

Well...I witnessed my second miracle, the first being when Katelynn was born. After 10 years of not hearing, my Mom got her ear piece programmed and could hear again!! It is truly amazing. She is having so much fun hearing things she hasn't heard in years...coffee grinding, the blinker in the car, overhead speakers, zippers on coats!! Who knew how much fun it would be to hear those things! The doctor said it would take awhile for her nerves to be stimulated into hearing things really clear, but he was so impressed with what she could hear in the first 20 minutes. We had a room full of people waiting to see if it worked. He covered up his mouth and said words and she repeated them right back!! What a miracle!!

This Darn flu shot!!!!

Well...We are home sick for the 3rd day since Katelynn had her flu shot. Monday I had off anyway as we went to get the shot. Tuesday Craig had to pick up Katelynn from daycare with a fever. I am home today as Katelynn still wasn't feeling herself this morning and now has a cough, runny nose and a gooey eye. After some Motrin she is doing much better!! Is this flu shot worth it??? I am told getting influenza is much worse, so I guess we don't want that. Can't wait for her 2 year shots in December!! YIKES!!

411 Reunion!!

It was Christmas craft weekend at the Wilkowski's. This tradition started when we were in college. We head to Perham and start off the holidays by making crafts! Carol and Bob, who are actually my godparents, put in lots of hard work for us by cutting wood, getting supplies, and feeding us!! This time was so much fun. Our College roommate, Laurie, that lives in Colorado suprised us all!! (Well, most of us) by coming this weekend. So all 5 College roommates were there and 4 kids! (The next generation of crafters!) We had a blast. Katelynn enjoyed playing with her friends. From left to right: Charlie, Teagan (both will be 1 in December), Katelynn, and Nora (7 months) Thanks for a fun day! It was so GREAT to see everyone...just like old times.
