Whoa! What happened?

I can't believe how old I'm getting! 2009?! Really?? Well, if I'm going to have to accept another year passing I might as well enjoy remembering some end of the year joys!!

Here are a few,

I'm so proud of Simon for finishing out the cross-country season with flying colors. Here he is before a race.


Addy has taken up guitar this year.


My Mom, Bro, niece Stacey and nephew Josh came for a visit over Thanksgiving. It was so fun! We had a great time at the zoo and I hope to always remember the night at my dining room table where we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. Josh, 3 for $20!! No way!! That's the best deal I've ever heard!

Here's me pushing Grandma D in the "stroller"! Here's something I didn't really think about before hand...there sure are a lot of hills at the zoo!


My bro, Josh!! I think he's cool.


Here's Stacey holding Gwendolyn,


We also had our pictures taken for Christmas by a friend of mine, Doris. I love this one she captured of Simon... I will just let the picture speak for itself (please don't email me if you find this offensive. Just know that I know that some of you might and let that be enough).


And of course, Todd. This was a fun night! Thanks Todd and Sophia for having us over and thanks for being so awesome!


And of course Sophia, Simon and Sophia had a great time dancing to some of her favorite tunes one night. They were both so happy!! Adelen cannot be seen here because she was already off to bed.



Right now I'm wondering where all the parade pictures are and the pictures of Christmas and geesh, all the other fun stuff we got to do. I'm really going to have to work on capturing more of life on my old fashioned digital camera (but that's not a resolution for the new year, it's not even a goal, it's just a thought and I don't want to be held to it. It may happen and it may not, we'll see).
