Well we had a nice thanksgiving. Did the traditional visit with family and eat way too much thing lol.
Nikolas of course had his very first thanksgiving, and boy… well seeing as how he enjoys his food in general, this holiday was all kinds of exciting for him.
He also got his very first haircut. *aww* my baby boy is growing up so very fast. And of course, i have pictures galore, of both Thanksgiving dinner and the haircut 
Brendalyn is doing fairly well.. Steroids suck but they do seem to be clearing her lungs so we’ll take what we can get. she has a follow up appointment with her allergist on tuesday.
Ive now upgraded from a paper 2 pocket folder containing all the important medical and dental paperwork for the kids, to an actual binder. 3 rings (which will be lovely once i get a hole punch but are relatively useless as of yet) and several tabbed pockets so i can separate all the papers into categories and more easily find the information im looking for.
Saw the movie adaptation of “Angels and Demons” with the family over the holiday. Its the sequel to “The DaVinci Code” and if youve not seen either movie i highly recommend them. More importantly if you have not read the books, i highly recommend doing that first. Dan Brown is an amazing author. His books are hard-hitting, hes not afraid of anything in terms of subject matter, and the pace is remarkably rapid fire. Both books take place (the entire novel) in about a 24 hr period each.
I also have a new favorite reference book. I was given “Asthma for Dummies” over the holiday as well. And let me just say, it is a great resource. In true “Dummies” fashion, it gives a lot of information in a very clear, concise, easy to read manner. Also it covers just about everything and has a lovely appendix with lots of organizational and supply resources, complete with addresses, phone numbers, and websites.

Actual… Devinci code is the sequal to A&D. they did the movies in the wrong order because code was the bigger sell…

Of all the many things you mentioned in this post, I’m zeroing in on the binder. What a great idea! I have all the kids’ medical stuff misfiled in various folders in my file cabinet. Why did I never think of putting them in a binder….? Clearly, you are way more organized than I am!! The best thing I did to keep track of their medical history was to start the blog.

this is where my slightly-ocd tendencies actually work in my favor lol. I love lists and contained organized formats for info so when my stepbrother was like “hey i dont need this binder, do you want it” i went “ooh…medical organization for the win!”
