Well the bug that bit my daughter made it's rounds through the rest of the family. Our toilet has seen more action than a frat house bathroom the morning after a party. Everyone has recovered nicely though, I'm happy to say.
Other than pukefest '08 there has not been a lot to report. I've been thinking an update on other members of my family is overdue.
My son Connor, diagnosed with Klinefelter's syndrome last year, is doing remarkable. He is on the honor roll which considering his learning disabilities is quite an accomplishment. He constantly surprises me with his intelligence, mainly due to the fact that he is my offspring. We still just about have to force feed him since his medication affects his appetite. He looks emaciated to me but his doctor says all is well.
My daughter, Mikayla is struggling with school. I think puberty is part of the problem. Boys (ugh-filthy littlr beggars) are becoming more of a presence in our house. It also doesn't help that she is so beautiful. The good news is she seems to completely oblivious to their all too frequent (to me anyway) attention. Last year, a modeling agent in New Jersey informed us they want to sign her. We've been dragging our feet a bit since we really aren't sure if this is a good idea or not. Financially it could be a great opportunity but I already think she is growing up too quickly. I think I was still playing with toys at 11, hell, I still play with them only now I have a son so I don't look so much like a dork. She has been past toys for at least a year. Electronics and clothes are where it's at now. She also knows all about Santa (Waaaaah!).
My wife is still working in the same job, but she is allowed to work from home now. I set her up an office and she is in there now as I type this, working diligently. Since I am unemployed that means we spend more time together than we have in years. Since she sometimes reads my blog, I'll say no more on that subject.
Since it's that time of the year, I think I'll close with a posting of my favorite Christmas song. Merry Christmas everyone.

great to hear about Connor's success in school. 11 year old modeling? i know nothing about this, but yeah it hits me as odd as well.
You know...Shaun has been working at home quite a bit lately, I think I understand exactly what you aren't saying! :)
As for the modeling. What a flattering offer. It's hard to know the right thing to do for our kiddos, isn't it?
Stay healthy!
Congratulations on both kids. I think I'd have some concerns about the modeling, although it might be a hard offer to resist.
Jeff I am living proof that you can have a learning disability (dyslexia)and get a degree and be successful...I can't call the crazy part about me part of the dyslexia so I blame it on my Ma the root of all of my problems..(just kidding)
Now I don't know all the facts on your son's disability but children are so amazing. My son too has dyslexia and has a really hard time reading but he is so smart in many different ways the kid is amazing with animals it is like he is the Dog whisper. Hang in there about the job situation..I know you have a plan. The kids are gorgeous... Happy holidays and keep writing your blogs are funny and your talented..I stay at home now being the mom to everyone so I need some dirt...;) Happy holidays
