Maybe Santa should reconsider his gift list...

He's bringing us one of these. Here's the story: Doctors Warn: Wii puts 10 people in hospital each week

Up to ten people a week are being hospitalized with injuries caused by playing Nintendo Wii games, prompting doctors in Britain to issue warnings of the dangers associated with the video game system.

"There has been a 100 percent increase in patients complaining of Wii-itis," Dr. Dev Mukerjee of Broomfield Hospital, Essex, told The Sun newspaper.

Another common injury is dubbed Wii-knee, blamed on the bending of the knee from the Wii-Fit game. This involves a special platform and a series of movements ranging from yoga to strength-training moves.

My Two Favorite Gifts

You've seen those Wallet Pix (as seen on TV!) commercials. Well, this is my favorite present. I just downloaded 20 pictures onto mine and there's still room for 38 more. It is a neat little gadget. Not corny at all. My second favorite gift was a 2 1/2 hour long nap on Christmas afternoon! When Luci slept, so did I. No worries about boys because John was there to stop World War III or IV, or whatever we are up to now. So nice!

Merry Christmas!

Favorite thing: Snow White dress

Favorite thing: Nintendo DS

Favorite thing: TV for the Man Cave. Note to kids: When you move out, the TV doesn't.

Quote of the Day:

Luci and I were looking under the tree. Luci said, "All the presents are gone." I said, "We opened everything. It was a Happy Christmas!" Luci said,

I want a Happy Christmas tomorrow!

Christmas Eve

Today was so fun. Santa's helper got done wrapping gifts at 1:45 a.m. Luci got up at 7 a.m. and had us going from then on. We do have one child intent on testing the Coal Theory...we hope he nicens up considerably before Santa gets here.





The kids got to open one present and had a race to see who would be fastest. Then we watched Luci's Gotcha Day DVDs--oh, that was so fun! She was so beautiful--still is, of course. Luci wanted to wear her Gotcha Day clothes--what the orphanage people put on her when we got her--and then we took some pictures of the kids in front of the tree. I am putting all of them here, they were so funny. Luci's wearing her Gotcha Day shirt in the pictures.
