So much to say

Blogging just isn't what it used to be. Let me see where I left off...oh, yes - Thanksgiving. The month of December was hectic and nice and cold (sometimes) and festive. I took several Fridays off through the month to burn some vacation time and to put in some much needed shopping hours. The holidays brought some in-laws in-state and we spent many hours playing games, sharing gifts, snapping photos and most of all, eating and drinking. The kids were overstimulated with excitement. They were up way past their bedtime throughout the holidays and it took a little doing to get them back into a routine. They were pleased with the efforts of Santa Claus and they continue to play with their new toys. Maureen got a new bike and already broke it in by taking a spill down our driveway - a few tears, a little more tightening of some nuts and bolts and she climbed back on that horse (bike). Rowan got a basketball (you can't go wrong with a ball for Rowan) a lot of Thomas Train paraphernalia - in hindsight, I think the trains were more for his Daddy as they were for him!
We are well into the month of January now and it's downright cold. Everyone is doing well. I'm not going to make any promises to blog more often, as resolutions tend not to stick. Happy new year and we'll see you soon!
Oh, PS: My sister Erin had her first child last week, Evelyn. She is very sweet and very tiny. Welcome to the world Baby Evie!
