Happy New Year!

Monday, December 29th, 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas here. The kids enjoyed everything from the decorating to the eating of way too many cookies. We are now enjoying the last week of Ian’s holiday break and looking forward to starting a new year (maybe with a bit less snow would be nice:)) We THANK everyone for the wonderful gifts, and most of all for making time to get together. We loved seeing everyone we could over the holidays. We still have a few more family members to visit (due to missing out because of snow). We hope everyone has a very happy and healthy New Year!

No More Snow!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Hope everyone is enjoying all the snow (I’m not)! We are almost ready for the holidays with just a few last items to get done. The kids are all excited and Ian can’t wait for X-mas break. Jacob has a neighbor friend who he loves spending many hours a week with. Zoe has accomplished potty training, being diaper free for over a month now. I will try to get more updates here over the holidays, but if I run a bit late on that…Happy Holidays!!
