Merry Christmas to All
By Margot | December 25, 2009
Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas to everyone.  The boys had a ball and the carnage was considerable. Sam got a surfboard and Andy got a snowboard and Charlie got a “mote control car and a mote control motorcycle” from Santa. We are dog-sitting Roscoe the beagle who is barking hysterically at the “mote control” car and adding to the general chaos as the nerf bullets fly.   The boys are downstairs now with some of their new video games (luckily they were balanced by a lot of good new books)  and all three very happy and very grateful this year which, as anyone with three kids can attest, is unfortunately not always a given. We had Maureen over for Christmas Eve dinner and she brought bags and bags of gifts to start Christmas early. We are trying to instill a bit of the deeper meaning of Christmas into Sam and Andy and they are getting it a little. Charlie of course is all about “where’s my next present? but his gift to us from preschool in which he describes our family was just precious we will keep it forever. Our biggest gift of all is that Sam has had a great week. He has had no pain and we have had football and soccer games at the park in beautiful weather, he plays goalie if he runs out of energy and aside from a little nausea here and there he has been wonderful all week.   We even went ice-skating with Uncle Matt at the Hotel Del before he left. Ice-skating by the ocean seems so Californian but the boys loved it.   Sam’s  ANC was 200 on Wednesday and we started giving him GCSF shots hoping to keep him out of the hospital for Christmas so having us home and all together is so very sweet.    Thanks to everyone for all your love and support this past year and hope you all have a Christmas filled with love wherever you may be.
I’m going down to start cooking and dodging nerf bullets.  We will have a football dinner at the Monacos today as the Chargers are playing at 4.

Merry Christmas! Dang… we are in Detroit, Wings lost to the Black Hawks, we travelled all the way from Dallas only to have it snow in Dallas and rain in Detroit… skating by the ocean sounds normal for Christmas (at least to the Podeszwa Clan). Wishing you the happiest of days and health in the year ahead!
