A couple days ago, Brandon started having breathing problems. Needless to say, mom was a nervous wreck. Since Grandma Lisa put it in her Christmas card, there is no use in keeping it secret, but we are expecting another baby. So those hormones made mom even more crazy. But after 3 hours in urgent care and x-rays and lots of drugs and steriods, Brandon is doing very well. He has to be on a Nebulizer 3 times a day. He is so brave. For Christmas this year, Angela's brother Jared and his wife Heidi came to visit. It was so much fun. Sorry it has taken us so long to put these pictures up, Heidi.
Here is mom and Brandon on Christmas morning. Brandon is known for his clumsiness. Which would explain the bruise on his cheek. He and the tile floor don't get along at all.
Dad, Kathleen, and Brandon on Christmas morning. Kathleen loved her new princess pajamas.

Kathleen made a new best friend. Her cousin Xander (which she pronounced Sander) was like the little baby toy she never had.
Jared getting stockings for his family.
So we told Jared and Heidi about how clumsy Brandon was, but I don't think they quite believed us until they came to visit this weekend. Then on Christmas morning, Brandon came down the stairs and saw his new train track set and ran right for it. Unfortunately he didn't see the couch between him and the train set and slammed right into it. We couldn't help but laugh. Here is a picture of classic Brandon, face down on the floor, Christmas morning. Luckily he is a good sport.
Kathleen loves her cousin Xander.
It was such a fun Christmas. Thanks Jared, Heidi, and Xander for making it so special for us.
