Christmas was a lovely day for our family. The day after Christmas after going for a routine appointment our daughter in law was admitted to the hospital to monitor her high blood pressure caused by the pregnancy of twins. She ended up being delivered of those babies that day. They are thriving and almost off oxygen and their formula amount has been increased now. Hopefully they’ll be able to go home soon.
Several of the kids got the flu and unfortunately, I got it too. I just got well from being sick a few weeks ago and got sick again 
Just as I’m starting to feel better now my husband thinks he may be coming down with something. Think I may put him in quarantine. Just kidding but I don’t want to get sick again.
My reading has been down the past few weeks because of Christmas busyness. and sleeping instead of reading.
