Poor Katie!

Hey b & b fans, it's Sue. As I sit to write to you I realize that it is now just two days until Christmas. Emma is absolutely off-the-walls excited. She has been bouncing out of bed every morning, frantically doing the countdown. "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve Eve, Mom!" (in my face, at 6am) Katie has been sidelined with a bad case of strep throat and tonsils the size of golf balls. Our poor baby is on antiobiotics but still feeling pretty miserable. We are crossing our fingers that she turns a corner tonight since she's been on the medication for 48 hours now. I hate to see my kids sick, as does every parent. At least we are not traveling since we host Christmas. We'll keep you posted.

The rest of us are well except that I am still in a state of disbelief that another birthday has come and gone. How can I be 45? Seems hard to imagine but you can't argue the numbers. I thought I would take this opportunity to share a column I wrote last year about the merry event. (I am a freelance columnist in what little spare time I have!) Click here to read.

The orders for bread + butter products have been great these past couple of months, thank you to all who have supported us. Please remember that the need continues well after the holidays are over. Keep spreading the word about us!
