Where does the time go?

Time sure does seem to go quickly!

I know that when I was younger my mom was always telling me to enjoy being young, time will move quickly as you get older.  Well, she was right!

This week before we left for Arizona, I woke up Sunday morning and didn't go to bed until Saturday night!  (Not really, but that is what it seemed like with everything that we had going this week!)

So where did all the time go...

• Five dentist appointments.  (Six if you count the time I had to go back and get a cavity fixed.)  The dentist asked Josselyn where she got such pretty teeth and she responded, "From Heavenly Father, duh!"  And miracles of all, Odette's teeth aren't rotting and actually look really good.  I thought for sure with all the puking she would need false teeth until her permanent ones came in.
• A trip to the GI doctor.  Not good news like the dentist.  Odette has lost weight.  We are upping her "feel hungry" medicine to see if that helps and still trying to calorie pack everything.  Also, we are going to be putting tubes in her ears to see if that helps because she has had a few ear infections that keep affecting her appetite.  That is scheduled sometime when we get to meet our new year's deductible...lucky us.
• A trip up to Primary Children's for Odette's monthly check-up.  Her counts still look great.  (Thanks for all of you who are still praying for her, we can feel your added strength.)  She still steals everyone's hearts.  This time she drove the "ambulance" and refused to get out and blew kisses to the doctor.  There isn't anyone that can resist this little girl!  She is just so lovable.
• Three Christmas parties.  (Thank heavens they were all on different nights!)  All of them were great fun!  The kids loved the juggler at one of the parties who said they were going to juggle a piece of "pooh".  Sure enough, a toilet brush, plunger and piece of Winnie the pooh. :)
• A trip out to Tooele for a family gathering where we all ate way to much food, got new Christmas socks and played lots.
• A Christmas cookie exchange.  I definitely need to learn how to make fancier cookies for the holiday, however I was glad for the six dozen we got in return for our candy cane cookies!
• Christmas shopping.
• Finishing of Christmas gifts.
• Packing and cleaning to get ready for a trip down to Arizona to enjoy the nice weather.

My time was gone quickly, but in its place some fun memories.  It was time well spent.
