Finally got around to uploading some Christmas pictures from last week. I think we’re still digging out from the piles of new toys and wrapping paper. Jen said it and she’s right “Christmas is really about the kids now” :)

First up the xmas dinner we went to at Terri’s house:

Plus here’s a great pic of my brother John holding Tabitha….I think it’s hilarious, he almost looks like he’s saying “hey…wanna buy a baby?”.

Connor got this Vtech V reader from Terri that he really really likes a lot. So far he’s already killed the batteries on it once….gonna need to get an AC adapter for that thing quick.

Here’s the next morning at our house. Amelia slept in a little bit so I ended up playing with Connor and the Home Depot workbench I had put together the day before:

From there it was pretty much just rip, rip, rip!

Don’t ask me why we got them Pez….maybe next year we’ll give them pixie sticks too. And then the last pic is of the carnage left behind:

Another year and another christmas come and gone. I still say the kids play more with the boxes and wrapping paper than the presents. :)

I just got back from the doctor’s with Amelia today and her Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR), has almost 100% healed based on the VCUG (Voiding CystoUrethroGram). So that means in the course of only a year she’s gone from a 2.5 to a 0….which is great news. The doctor even said himself that there is no reason to see him again (thank god) and he didn’t even blink an eye when I told him we took her off the preventative antibiotics six months ago and had her on probiotics.

Man am I glad we don’t have to do any of that again. Here’s a little info on VUR incase anyone is curious.

So I turned 35 earlier this week and the big gift from Jen this year was a (to replace my 2g that got decommissioned and my mp3 player that stopped holding a charge). I’ve been playing with it now for a few days and I can’t begin to say how much I’m enjoying it.

First off the bat I’m a person who uses their MP3 player a lot. Jen bought me my creative zen almost five years ago and I used the every living hell out of it. I’d still be using it today if the battery still held a charge. To be honest I am going to miss it because creative makes it so you just plug it in and it acts like a flash drive, so putting music on it was very straight forward and simple. One thing that I’m not going to miss however are the wired headphones but I’ll get to that in a bit.

The first thing that hit me about the ipod touch was the size. It almost feels like I’m going to slip it into my wallet next to my credit cards or something. I didn’t like using a case with my 2g but compared to this I had to go out and order one immediately. I can only hope that when I do eventually drop it that it will float gently down to earth like a leaf since it’s so light. Processing speed is also a big improvement. On my 2g if I was listening to an MP3 and tried to take a picture in Facebook the whole thing would lock up and crash on me. Of course things zip along with the ipod touch 4. The display is nice and sharp and of course there is now a camera facing me as well as pointing out…..but until skype can use it (or apple let’s facetime talk to an iMac running 10.5) it doesn’t really do anything for me.

The other big thing is bluetooth. Now every single iphone has had bluetooth for a while however the 2g didn’t have bluetooth that could support stereo sound. That meant my dream of not ripping the ear buds out of my head (happened all the damn time with my creative zen…honestly surprised I never broke the headset jack) had to be put on hold. Thanks to this new ipod I was able to buy some motorola SD-10‘s (plus I had a 60% off coupon code….GIFT4U60). I’m still playing with them but they also work with my samsung propel pro cell phone so it means I don’t need a bluetooth headset for that. They are an acquired taste since they go in your ears and do hug your head a little tightly. I might just have a big head of course but so far the pro’s far outweigh the cons and I’m digging them big time.

One last thing real quick, there’s been a huge improvement in wireless from my 2g. I suspect it has to do with the aluminum casing that the 2g had but I can reach all over the house now and backyard even. I still am not a big fan of iTunes….to be honest I think it’s a bloated piece of crud that is way to invasive and I miss the simpler creative zen method of adding music. That aside though I can’t think of a reason somebody wouldn’t love this thing. I just hope nobody tries to facetime me while I’m in the john.
