2008 officially arrived about 20 minutes before this posting. I personally welcome it's arrival with open arms. I love new years. I love the chance to "hit the reset" button on some areas of life and try to do better or learn from trials of previous years.
We had a spread out Christmas this year as we just did our last two Christmas "get-togethers" on Saturday, the 29th. Sara, Micah, and Aubri all got the stomach flu the weekend before Christmas. I stayed healthy until Christmas day and spent the following day in bed. Not the way I'd prefer to do Christmas, but we all survived.
We went to Sara's dad's on Christmas day, had my dad over on the 28th, and went up to Mora on the 29th to Sara's mom's Christmas and later to my mom's. It always a little bit of a whirlwind to get through it all, but I'm glad we get to see most of our family around the holidays.
We left Gavin and Aubri at my mom's until New Year's Day. It's been a much needed break to put our house back in some sort of order again. With everyone being sick and the busyness of Christmas, our house looked like it had been burglarized... and there were very few clean clothes left in our dressers and closets. So, as much as it would have been nice to rest during this time, we've been working hard to try to get ready for our kids to come back tomorrow (or later today, I guess). We also like to take some time and set goals and make schedules for the new year. We don't always accomplish what we want to do, but it's nice to have some direction.
Hopefully we can find time to blog more in the new year. It seems like we average about two blogs per quarter. Maybe we can move up to one a month! :) I added a few pictures at the link to your right. Our kids are changing so much and so quickly that it would be nice to capture more of that to share with our family and friends.
Have a happy new year everyone!!!
