Andrea, Hailey, Emi and Joel's Not So Typical Adventures: Gearing up for Christmas

The month of December has been full of fun. We've worked hard and played hard. We've also been sick hard. Every one of us has seemed to catch something. Hailey and Emi had minor colds. Joel got bronchitis and was home from work for a week. I caught the tail end of his cold and finished off the year with a gnarly cough/cold.

We have been waiting and watching for Brystol to come, but unless she comes the day after I write this, she'll be a 2018 baby. The girls are getting more and more excited because we said Brystol would come at Christmas. Well, Christmas came and went and we're still waiting. We have had many Dr's appointments and it's made for some long days. Hailey came early at 37 weeks and Emi came around 38-39 weeks, so for Brystol to be almost 42 weeks, it has us all baffled. So we continue to wait. She's healthy, just apparently very comfy where she's at.

We've had a full Christmas especially with Joel's family coming to visit, but that's a post in itself with everything that we've done.


We sometimes get a Kids Club monthly pass because the kids can play while we are exhausted and nap!				asdf

We have tried to still manage to get things done and have a good time in the meantime. There was lots of crafting to get ready for Christmas. I'm tinkering with my new serger and having a good time doing it. There's more scrundies, which the girls are loving their new underwear and don't want to take off for days at a time. I've tinkered with making a few sewing machine/serger covers. They just keep getting better. I've made wet/dry bags for wipes, pens, or just general holding bags.
