Wow! What a holiday. We were so sick. Kaydee had strep. Kinsley had double ear infections. Both girls were miserable. Kensley had to have two antibiotic shots. Kaydee took oral antibiotics. We were going to go to Grandma's for Christmas, but we were too sick and I was too tired of taking care of everyone to load up and go. So we spent a quiet Christmas at home with snow covered ground, a white Christmas. It was nice. The kids began to feel better on Christmas day. We watched the Nativity Story on Christmas Eve and made our lists of what we would give Jesus for His birthday. On Christmas morning we opened gifts. They loved their presents and we remembered the miracle parts of our year, inspite of the extremely hard few days that had just past. Kensley had been waking up at 2am for the 6 days. Her stools went from 3 times a day to 6 times a day. I am sooooo tired, physically, mentally, emotionally. I pray that her stools will slow down again, and that we can finally get off of her fluids at night. It has been soooo hard. We almost get off and then she gets sick or a cold or something. We really need a break, a time of blessings, and we pray that January will bring that.

So sorry to hear that you all were sick, and will pray for good health and lots of little miracles in 2010 as you watch that sweet baby progress!! Loved your Christmas card, but believe that you should have had more in there about SUPER MOM. Honestly, don't know how you do it. I drove 9 hours with the kids and new puppy from Lampasas yesterday. (Clay is hunting with his dad in NM.) No poopy accidents, but Amy Kaye and the puppy each threw up twice. Have been unpacking, cleaning out, packing in etc since we returned, and just remembered a few minutes ago that I had not done my transcription from while we were gone, which has to be in their email in the morning. Feeling overwhelmed....that's when I always check your blog! Reminds me to "get over it" and encourages me to see how God is working through your family!!
Clay shot the biggest buck he has ever shot...really nice 10 point...with his bow...60 yard shot after 5 and a half hours of tracking. We are all excited about that. Miles also shot his first buck while we were in TX, it was a nice 8 point.
Praying for you all in 2010!!!
Love, the Mathis'

She looks absolutely wonderful....growing and thriving....and SO beautiful! GOD IS GOOD! This year is going to be great, I just know it!!
Love you guys!!!
