Happy Christmas!

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 24, 2007

So far this morning, we have made cookies for Santa, reindeer food (carrots, spinach, and apples), and we have tracked Santa’s progress with the Norad Santa Tracker.  (He’s just left the International Space Station!)  We’re going to eat lunch and then watch Meet the Robinsons on PPV.  I’ll be back with pictures tomorrow (I hope!) [...]

I am alive!

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 22, 2007

I survived the litho.  I’ve already passed most of the stone, which is GREAT news…I am unlikely to keep having pain on Christmas.  At least I’m praying that is the case!  Right now I’m still pretty high b/c the anesthesia has taken *forever* to really wear off.  I’ve slept a lot and watched a lot [...]

Lithotripsy #4, 3 days before Christmas.

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 21, 2007

Nope, not a joke.  I went in for the follow-up on my last one (which you may recall ruined Thanksgiving for me) and they found that the tiny one on the opposite side has grown exponentially and has fallen into the ureter.  The good news is it’s not causing me any pain.  The bad news [...]

Christmas Cards

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 18, 2007

So I won’t be sending them out *again* this year as time got away from me and I never got a good pic of the boys together.  I’m sorry!  We do enjoy all of the cards we’ve been getting, though.  It’s fun to show them to J and tell him who it’s from and how [...]

All recovered…and more real convos.

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 14, 2007

We all seem to be (mostly) recovered, finally! C had a relapse earlier this week but his croupy cough has once again cleared up and except for still having a runny nose, seems to be fine.
This morning, as I dropped J off at school for his last day before the holiday break, we had [...]

Coming to you live from the House of Germs.

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 7, 2007

Snot, vomit, and lots of other yucky things abound at the W house.  C had croup (my first experience with it…luckily it cleared up fast…yay breastfeeding!) and J has missed school every day this week except today.  I finally took him today because he seemed so heartbroken about missing again.  I know he’s no longer [...]

Writer’s Strike…how YOU can help!

Posted by: Melissa W on: December 6, 2007

This was passed on to me by my writer friend…I did it just a minute ago and it was super quick and easy. If you’re starting to miss your shows, it’s *something* you can do to support the writers and get everyone in Hollywood back to work. I know the situation must be [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
