So I have been sick. I started off this year with brochitis and larangitis - not fun. Anyway, because I have been sick, I have needed to blow my nose quite frequently. I am not a quiet nose-blower. I try, but it usually comes out like a horn.
Samuel has also had a cold and with that cold he has had a runny nose. He has always been a good little guy to let us wipe his nose, but I thought it would be good if he could learn to blow. Well, I gave him a tissue and he put it on his nose and said, "hooonk." Silly little boy! but he did blow his nose just like mommy!

At the park
On Saturday we went to Disney World and watched the Christmas parade and attended the Candlelight Processional with Whoopi Goldberg. Here are some pictures!
Christmas Rambling
The speaker at church yesterday read the above scripture and then asked each of us to ponder the meaning of each of the titles of Christ and the significance each of these titles/roles has in our lives. I am humbled to know that I have a Savior who has done so much for me. He is Wonderful! Because of Him, I have peace. My words seem to trivialize the great role that He has played for all mankind, and that is weakness in me. I cannot write words well enough to express myself and the gratitude that I have for my Savior.
I am thankful to be celebrating His birth and hope that during the coming year I can continue to grow in my love and appreciation for what he has done. Through the trials and blessings that I have had, I have come to know that He loves me and is anxious to help me to develop into the person that He knows I can become. I have also learned, and continue to learn, that He is caring for me and my family.
He has cared for Samuel before I was blessed to be Samuel's mom. During those first months after having Samuel I begged for Samuel to be spared. I said in so many prayers, "Please heal him! I want him here with me!" Those prayers were answered, and Samuel continues to grow and be so strong. During my prayers, however, I also received the reminder and assurance that He wants us there with Him. He wants us to be close to Him; He wants us to be like Him. If we rely upon Him, He will counsel us so that we can more fully receive His peace.

Home Today
Well, yesterday Samuel did have some difficulty breathing after surgery. They gave him a breathing treatment before we left the hospital and then we gave him his treatment before he went to bed last night. Poor little guy - lately he has been holding the mask himself, but last night he wanted nothing to do with it and he screamed the entire time. The screaming got so bad that we had to stop and start again 3 different times.
Anyway, Samuel had a good night and then this morning he was not breathing well again so we gave him a treatment and decided that David would go to work while Samuel and I would spend the day at home resting.

No Driving or Operating Heavy Machinery
Samuel is home and all is well. The discharge instructions include that we shouldn't allow Samuel to drive or operate heavy machinery. So, I guess we will have to find other things to fill our time :)
Seriously though, Samuel did very well in surgery. He was taken in just before 7:30 AM and we were leaving the hospital just before 9 AM. He was a little loopy coming off of the anesthesia and just jabbered and giggled. This afternoon we just relaxed and let him have a quiet day. Best news is that likely there will not be any other surgery until possibly after Samuel is around 3 years old! A whole year without a surgery - Yahoo!!!

Happy Halloween!
Halloween this year was lots of fun! We went to two 'trunk or treat' parties and Samuel had a great time. He loved carrying his bag because he really likes putting things in bags...however, he didn't know what to think of other people putting things in his bag!
He also had fun at the 'fishing pond'. 
On Halloween we went to the Sea World Spooktacular and Samuel got his piture taken with the "Pumpkin Fish". We went late in the day because we were having record breaking heat so the only show we watched was "Shamu Rocks". Samuel loved it. I enjoyed the show, but even more then then show, I enjoyed listing to Samuel cheer and get so excited with the different tricks that were done.

We also went to the pumpkin patch again this year. We went right before going to Sea World - Next year we will have to remember to go earlier because going on Halloween the patch was pretty much closing down. Still got cute pictuers though!
