January is almost over!! I have GOT to send out our Christmas cards! :) I mean, I think that we may get a bye this year, but we'd like to send one just the same! It's alright, we take pride in prolonging the holidays for our friends and loved ones! My goal was to have them mailed by January 31, but that is Sunday, and they aren't ready to go yet, so maybe by Valentine's Day!
Thursday marked the official end of our "ordeal". I saw my OB for my follow-up exam and got the all clear to resume normal life...whatever that is! I am feeling stronger every day, but still require a nap most days, and Motrin is never far! I caught a virus from somewhere (probably the urgent care last weekend!) and have a wicked sore throat, which I seem to have shared with Landon and quite possibly, the baby, who has been uncharacteristically fussy today. Ugh! So we are laying low and keeping the Motrin/Tylenol handy. Mathis also has thrush, which can be quite painful when they are eating, so I am treating him with nystatin and I am taking an antibiotic and hopefully those two things together will get us both squared away!
We are looking forward to wonderful weather on Sunday...and some time romping about in the yard. It seems that there is also a possibility that we could be frolicking in the snow come Tuesday, but we'll have to wait and see...it is amazing that it can be 62 one day and two days later cold enough to snow! I think the boys would enjoy it, they still talk of our snow storm last January and the snowman we built...but truth be told, we are a warm weather family and are counting the days til we leave for Siesta Key in March! Greg used to encourage me by saying, "you've already been here (the hospital) longer than we have left til the beach" He certainly knows how to motivate me!
Hope 2009 has started out well for ya'll!

Jane and I had thrush- it can be awful, hopefully it will be shortlived for you guys.
If I could get a nap every day, I sure would- do that for as long as you can.
Glad to hear about you guys and your new normal!
Hey Powell 5!!! We Jones' have been praying for y'all - we assumed when we stopped seeing you in church that you were having a tough time and not able to be out and about - not for 5 months, though! I can't imagine how tough that was!
Your card, letter, pictures and blog - so great! Thanks for the update! I will keep checking in with you - if you would like to e-mail, we are amyandjeff@bellsouth.net. Take care, love and drools to Mathis! Plain ole' love to the rest of y'all - no drool.
Amy and the Gang
