I wasn’t feeling very well today. I didn’t sleep well because of stomach pains. I woke up around 4:00, still quite tired, but unable to sleep. I think I had a stomache flu. I was pretty nausiaus all day. Rachel went over to her mom’s house around noon and was there until about 6:00 helping her bake all sorts of cookies. Once she got home she said her dad was putting together some bicycles, so I went to help out. He said he heard that I was home sick and taking care of kids so he thought he’d try to help me out. It certainly was nice to have him do it. He was practically done when I got there.

I am so glad that Rachel has the tradition of leaving cookies and milk for Santa and has passed it on to our kids. Because I’m quite certain that Santa enjoyed the cookies and milk 😉
