Please excuse the error in putting Heather Blattmans s/b Heather Lights. Sorry Joey. Nothing personal I promise. Just some old people have a hard time changing. We love you, Joey.

Well, I'm not very good at all this, but I will try to post a blog. Some of you have been questioning whether we will have a Christmas exchange this year. So in my infinite wisdom, I have decided we will, and I am here posting it. Hope it meets with your approval. I am assuming that since Matt & Kathy were not able to participate last due to their far and distant home, that they will not participate this year. Listed are the families that you will be buying a gift for, and that is one gift for the entire family listed with a limit of $50.00 per family. That is the high limit--doesn't mean you have to spend that much. Here goes:
Joseph Blattmans buy for Jacob Blattmans
Jacob Blattmans buy for Dan Blattmans
Dan Blattmans buy for Sarah Pyrahs
Sarah Pyrahs buy for Will Blattmans
Will Blattmans buy for Heather Blattmans
Heather Blattmans buy for Joseph Blattmans

Any questions, send them to our legal department 1-800-I don't know.

Tonsil update

Jakey is home and doing well. He enjoyed every part of the pre-op: wagon ride, stuffed animals, movie and getting to blow up the green "balloon" for the anesethia. But waking up was another story and took about 3 hours. He was pretty sad yesterday, but had a good night. He is managing today with head nods/shakes and whispers. He is still having a hard time swallowing and tends to let the drool roll. He seems more alert and is eating otter pops, and drinking some juice. I think we can start the ice cream tomorrow.

I have chalked yesterday up to "one of the hardest Mommy days of my life". But I made it through, whew.

thanks to everyone for more happy thoughts and Mom and Dad for helping. Emily and Morgan were sure wore out after hanging with the g-parents.

Hello All,

Jakey goes in for his tonsillectomy on Wed at 6am. We just wanted to ask if each family could remember him in your family prayers Tues night. We would appreciate your prayers, positive vibes and happy thoughts.

thanks
Sarah and Chris

Belly shot

I thought I would post a belly shot just for fun.

Happy Halloween

we wanted it to be obvious that we dressed up for Halloween. heather and I noticed as we walked through Scheels that it was increasingly difficult to figure out who was in costume or who was just wearing something interesting...ie: 6 inch red high heals or the furry furry boots.
