Schaumburg, Illinois

We had a good trip here on the limousine and airplane. Our plane was actually about one half hour early. Jason was there to pick us up. Curt slept most of the way and went to bed soon after we arrived at their house (after 8:30 PM). Both of his brothers drove from Moline to see us on Friday and Saturday. Curt was not up to going out on Friday, so we brought food in. Curt had to go lie down a couple times. Aaron went to a pre-party before a 5th Grade Dance that night. We did go out to lunch on Saturday with Denny and Sandy before they returned to Moline. At 6 that night we went to watch Sam in his Free Throw contest (he made 8 of 25). Aaron was at a birthday party at that time. Then Beth and Jason had their church group (5 other couples) over at 7:30 for game night. Curt went to bed when the boys did, but I played Progressive Rummy with the group. Sunday we all went to church. Jason took the boys sliding in the afternoon (there has been snow since we arrived), and the rest of us stayed home. Today Curt had a nice visit with his former catcher from grade school through high school. He also drove from Moline (about 2 1/2 hour drive) to see Curt. We went out to lunch with him and he visited here for awhile. Curt then rested while the boys went to a birthday party and Beth and I shopped this afternoon.
Curt has been disappointed that he has not had more energy (still rests a lot) and still gets a little pain by his ear (taking a couple Excedrin a day). He has also had a lot of discharge - mostly through his nose. He still complains about the "numbness" in his feet. He is not eating that well either.
I got a cold the day before we left (last Wednesday), but it is better now. However, I have been sleeping in Sam's room the past couple nights because of my snoring. Sam is sleeping in Aaron's room.
We are looking forward to watching the Beavers in the Las Vegas Bowl tomorrow night. We will go to the 5 o'clock church service on Christmas Eve and then come home. On Christmas Day we will go to Jason's parents'.
Merry Christmas!
