Solemn New Year

We had a great Christmas. Santa was good to all of us. Tessa enjoying eating the wrapping paper more than anything. You can totally see her one little tooth. She has defintiely mastered crawling, she no longer looks like a drunk marine doing the low crawl. She has also started sitting up on her own. We finally had to drop the crib mattress, since her little head sticks up when she sits up and it's only a matter of time before she starts pulling herself up. She is just moving along so quickly.

Omi got Dixie and Sassafrass a fw dogs toys for Christmas. Dixie chewed her tennis ball into a trillion pieces in about 5 minutes. Then proceesed to destroy Sassafrass' rope toy. She is a little neurotic when it comes to toys. Sassafrass got a new collar for the invisible fence. We have to do some training and then she will also be able to play in the front yard with the rest of us. Marmi and Gretchen got little stockings with toys also. Although, I think Marmi is just content to sit on someone's lap. She is such a sweet cat. Gretchen is getting a little better with Tessa, but we still have to watch her.

On a more serious note, Mike spent New Years in the hospital. He has been there for a week now. He has diverticulitis and will have to have surgery in two months to remove part of his colon. Right now he is fighting the infection still. Hopefully he will be able to come home tomorrow or Wednesday. It's not how I had planned on ringing in the New Year, but I'm thankful he's getting better and will hopefully be home soon.

I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them downloaded. It's been a really long week.
