Santa Safari

Trevor asked for a Choo-Choo-Train

Cameron asked for Emily, one of the characters of Thomas

We went to the Santa Safari again this year because Cameron thinks that's the only way he can ask for something from Santa and actually get it. We weren't nearly as impressed this year, so I think we will find something new next year. Maybe Zach will have to dress up :)

This year they didn't have many snacks and they closed down a couple of the animal areas before we could get there. However, Trevor really enjoyed himself! He touched a little dragon, a snake, a rabbit, ferret, and saw some different birds as well as a penguin. He loved running from place to place to see the animals. He also loved seeing Santa!! He kept wanting to go see him over and over, only it wasn't his turn. He kept pointing at Frosty and the Penguin that was there. He was a little scared when he was up close with them, but he liked telling us where they were the WHOLE time! It was neat to see the kids enjoying themselves. Cameron wasn't in the best mood. He liked coloring and then telling Santa what he wanted, but he had no interest in anything else this time.

First Stitches

Thought I'd spare you all the picture of the hole before stitches! This is the following morning before I put his cream on it and band aid.


Cameron fell while dancing to a Santa. He hit the corner of an end table at Nana's very hard. He was bleeding all over and when I cleaned it a little, I could see he had a hole in his head. I left Trevor with Nana and Papa offered to come with me so he could hold something on Cameron's head on the ride to the ER. We were there for about 2 hours. He was so scared, but still very brave. He asked if he'd have to have a nose tube or anything stuck in his arms. He was glad he didn't have to do that. He wanted to see what his head looked like because he thought it was his eye, so I showed him. He was such a big boy! He ended up with 3 stitches and will get them out in 5 days.


The next day I threw up at work and was sent home. I had some virus and had a fever through today. I think I'll be able to get to work tomorrow. We had the sad news that another life has been lost to CF. Creed is Zach's age and passed yesterday evening. Too many lives lost to CF this year! We need to find a cure for this awful disease!!! These next couple/few years are going to be the key to getting the control, I just know it!
