Also, if you missed it, Toddy is five months old now! I did manage to post his update here!
Week in Dallas
Our week in Dallas before we headed to Austin was a busy one. E had her last gymastics class, and although she loves it, we're starting swim lessons next week instead of another session of gymnastics. Tuesday night I heard Todd cough in the monitor and knew immediately he had croup. Luckily Embry had school Wednesday and the pediatrician got us right in. Sure enough, it was croup and an ear infection. A three dose steroid and antibiotic did the trick and he didn't ever do the croupy cough again and started feeling better within a few days. Great Grandma Gordon and Great Aunt Mary Jo came for a visit for a few hours and Embry had a blast showing off for them! |

Austin!
Friday through Thursday, the kids and I spent time with Great Gram and Great Papa who were on the tail end of their stay in Austin! We finally celebrated Christmas with them and also got to be in Austin for my dad's birthday! It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad the kids got extra time with their great grands.

Trip To Oklahoma
Like I said above, we got really sad news on Sunday while I was in Austin that Grandpa Cockayne passed away. Jacob was especially close to him and we both will miss him dearly. I ended up flying to Oklahoma Thursday morning through late Friday night to attend the visitation and funeral with Jacob and his family. I took Todd with me and left Embry back in Austin where she had a sleepover with "Ford". It's been a really tough week, but we're glad we have so many good memories with the beloved "G-Pa". |

Back to Austin
Toddy and I got back to Austin in time to still spend a day with more out of town family who came in from Chicago! My aunt Jamie, uncle Jim, cousin Lindsay and her fiance Adam were all in town for the weekend from Chicago! It was so fun and just makes me wish we lived closer!
