new years!


WE went to a friends of mine house for new years last night. A family party that started at 8... So, we thought we would go, stay until 10, then head home and put the kids to bed... WE stayed til 1, and the boys ran strong the whole time! we finally got everyone to bed around 130, and T was up by 620 ready for the day, with everyone else getting up before 7. I was so surprised that they didn't sleep in at all.... Overall though, we had a great, safe time ringing in the new years and hope everyone else did as well! ok. so new years means resolutions, and here are mine:
Family: to cut non-student loan debt by 50%
to teach the boys tennis, and spend more time as a family playing sports and being active (we have been such bums lately...)

personal: to lose 5 pounds
to cut all soda (big deal! end of day 1, doing great!)
to catch up my scrapbooks (i am 199 months behind, not even counting mine and johns childhood albums)
to be more patient w/ the boys by planning ahead better and not rushing them as often

ok, off to watch football!

  4. Amy, I love your blog. I stumbles upon it from Melanie's. Van is soooo big now. And potty training him at 2. You are very ambitious. Jack will be 2 in March and I am not ready to tackle that one yet. Good luck!! How is school going for John? How are you surviving? Take care!

  6. Your resolutions sound so nice. They're actually mine too, I just haven't written them down.

    As for Amy... she's fine. They can't explain why she went into labor so early. All was healthy with the placenta and such. Charlotte came out screaming and has been quite strong since. Amy's milk has come in, so she's able to help nourish her - which will make all the difference in the world. We're just hoping the little cutie will be able to get home before too long.

    Amy went home yesterday and is planning to get some pics of the baby on her blog soon.
