Ahh, Christmas 2003. This is not what I expected this Christmas to be like. Heidi’s presents weren’t even wrapped because I had expected to have more time. Nonetheless, we had a nice Christmas morning, just us and the animals. Kahlua received bones, and an insane quacky thing. I know we are going to rue the day we gave this to her. The cats got fake mice, and catnip treats (which Kahlua ate behind our backs). Of course they played with the big box we put all of it in, and the ribbons and wrapping paper more than the toys… Such are the joys of cats.

Heidi received slippers, pajamas and other comfort related stuff. I, of course, received my token summer sausage and geek items like hypercafinated drinks, linux badges, gnu stickers, and shirts with computer geek humor that is lost on the face of the layman. All in all pretty standard.

After gifts, we went to see our babies. The twins are fine. They had a great day today, and I am so thankful for that. I am also very thankful for the nurses that are sacrificing their Christmas to care for my children. How truly selfless. Today was a day which follows the rule, “No news is good news.” We need as many of these days that we can get. They are both back on the bili-lights, which is normal. Rhys graduated to an isolette. So, now he has his own private room. :) Although I feel like he cannot hear me talk to him anymore. :(

As you can see, it’s rather late, so I’m gonna hit the sack. Again, thanks to everyone who has given us so much support! I can’t say enough good things about you. I hope your Christmas was blessed.

Here’s some pics.
