Sorry I haven't updated through out the last week- its been a whirlwind of a week. We went down to Chambersburg to spend before Christmas with Mike's family- went down to VA (I stayed in Chambersburg to work on my dissertation), came back to Chambersburg (he had a fever for most of the time we were in C-burg and VA-but was better by Christmas), then headed to Lancaster to spend the rest of the week with my parents. We left Nate with my parents for Friday and Saturday and they brought him back up to State College on Sunday so that Mike and I could finally unpack and settle our house a bit more. Nate had ear tubes put in at the Geisinger Facility in Danville on Monday Dec 31st. We had to get up at 4am to get him to Danville for his 6:45am reporting in time- needless to say that Mike and I were wiped and went to bed early- so the ringing in of the New Year was quite low key this year. Santa was ridiculously good to Nate (and us for that matter) this year- I have some pictures and videos of him the last week. Nate's doing great after his surgery- you wouldn't even know he had them. For all of you who didn't know, Nate has been on 8 rounds of antibiotics since Oct, for he had major fluid in his ears that wouldn't clear, and thus he kept getting ear infections. We couldn't get him into the ENT (ears, nose and throat) doctor up here in State College until March (which we weren't going to wait that long for...there are so many antibiotics, tylenol and advil that a kid can have in his lifetime, let alone in a 6 months)- we were able to get him into the Geisinger Facility in Danville PA ( about 1 hour 30 min from SC) for his consult on Dec 19th, which it was evident that he needed tubes and she got him into surgery for Dec 31st, thank goodness! Hopefully this will help us avoid ear infections for the rest of the season.
I'm sorry that I didn't get to send out Christmas cards this year either- it doesn't mean we love any of you less- we've just been ridiculously busy- i.e. sick kid, buying/selling a house, working on my dissertation etc.... Hopefully you've been able to get your "Nate" fix here on the blog. Hopefully as the writing of my dissertation progresses and the house gets settled, I'll have more time to keep in touch!
Enjoy the pictures and videos! :)

It looks like Nate had a ball on Christmas (no pun intended)! He is getting so big! - We did get the mysteriously appearing presents for Luke from Nate in Chambersburg. Thank you so much!The outfit it adorable and Luke likes the neat book. We had a gift for Nate too but didn't know we wouldn't see you. Could you email your new address to us?
