Why??????

It has begun, Landon has started asking us "why". Oh gosh, I am really unsure if I ready for this stage. They grow up so fast. Today we finally completed Christmas decorations (we have been so busy, we got so behind!). While decorating today it was why this and why that. I am just waiting for the hard questions. Like where do babies come from?

It will be a whirlwind week for us at home and at work. Unfortunately, cancer doesn't take a holiday break. We have been busy bringing in new patients at St. Jude. My heart goes out to the patients and the families. I really hope they can have some peace this Christmas and some joy even through their illness. I thank God for our health as working where I do makes you appreciate the very simple things in life, like going out for a walk without a mask on your face or my son playing with his friends without too much worry of it crashing his immune system.

We are excited to share this Christmas with Landon as he finally realizes who Santa is and what he will bringing him on Christmas morning. He has been singing songs, making reindeer food, and other crafts at daycare.

We hope everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy holiday. Now on to Landon asking us why he can't touch the candles! Once it starts it never ends!

Landon's First Dates

Yes, you read right, I said dates. As in, Landon had three dates last Saturday night to my Christmas party for St. Jude. All three of them much older than his 3 years, but that's ok. Landon even brought each one of them flowers and dressed up for the evening. Meghan (my office mate), Samantha (a co-worker), and Dori (a nurse in the clinic) all were very surprised with their flowers. Landon tried to give the flowers to alot of different people when we first arrived at the party. It was very crowded and an little overwhelming for me and Landon.

When he finally calmed down, he began eating dessert first. He had chocolate all over his mouth. He didn't mind his table manners too well in front of his dates, but they still thought he was adorable anyways.

I think that Landon will do ok in the real dating world much later in life. But it was fun to see him interact and get excited for the party and his dates. He talked about the party all day that day. We were exhausted once home but it was well worth getting dressed up and being around the people I "live" with during the work week!
