Grandma Jones will be 83 this year.  Since we won't be able to join the family to celebrate it, we thought it would be nice to get together.  We had dinner at her favorite restaurant, to took a couple of nice pictures and put them in a nice frame and give it to her.  She loved it.  She saw Sam for the first time and Sam just lovable.  Irresistible baby.

We celebrated Christmas in Utah this year.  It was so nice to see everyone--or ALMOST everyone.  We missed Harold and Linda who couldn't come up for the holidays.  This year, instead of buying EVERYONE gifts ( which always gets way, way, way out of hand) we draw (siblings and in laws) names.  It turned out fun and works for everyone.  We opened each

other's gifts on Christmas eve (we regret not doing it even sooner) and then opened Santa's gifts on Christmas day.  We also watched a couple of Christmas' Broadway-kind-of-show which were surprisingly entertaining.  But Alec hadn't really recovered from his flu and fell ill again. Mom and Alec kept passing each other germs which they then shared with Dad and Grandma Nancy.  We were shocked when the doctor told us that Alec supposed to be in a lot of pain because of a bad ear infection.  We guessed

he had an ear infection when Alec told us that his left ear hurt, but we had no idea it was a bad one because of the way Alec behaved.  It was easily treatable, but still should have caused Alec a lot of pain.  In any case, given a bit of Amoxilyn, Antihistamine and 48 hours, Alec was ready to fly home.

Alec was two and a half when this story was written

 

Merry Christmas!

We missed Christmas : (

We arrived in Ogden in February for a very brief visit.  We didn't have much time to begin with, and everything was made more difficult because we missed our connecting flight to Singapore due to airline technical problems!  This caused us to spend more than 3 days en route to the U.S.  Alec was a real troop through out the flight and just a happy traveler.  The 26 hours spent flying didn't bother him a bit.  Once we got to Ogden, though, the altitude and jet lag wore out his little body for first couple of days.  We also had Alec's blessed while we were in Ogden and flew to Phoenix to spend couple of days with Harold and Linda.  To see more of Phoenix visit click here

Cheech and Sean came back to Ogden in May 2003 for Alec's birth.  We had a baby shower just in time before Alec's early birth.  Alec was born 2 weeks earlier than we expected.  But he was on 95 percentile for his weight and height.  Welcome Alec!
