Happiest Year

As New Year's approaches this evening, I can't help but reflect on the fact that 2008 was the best year ever. Randy & I waiting so long to be parents and then BAM! our two boys entered our world all in one year. It's quite amazing to say the least! We've been so busy this holiday season, that I have to remind myself to slow down and take it all in...I don't want to miss a second. 

Last year, I had 8 New Year's Resolutions.!! What was I thinking?!?!?! However, being a Mommy was one of them! Since I'm a double Mommy doesn't that count extra???? 

This year I'm keeping it simple. I have two resolutions....

1. Take the time to enjoy, live and savor each moment with my family.

2. Be more organized (Seems impossible with the two little rascals right? But, they actually keep me more organized!!)

OK, enough of my reflection and resolution's...on to the boys latest mug shots:

Here are some photos of our first Christmas together...
 
   
  

Laughter is the best medicine

Our home is filled with laughter & smiles this holiday season...

Ho, ho, huh????

Uncle Roy was a trouper and dressed up as Santa for Eli & Joel...it was quite photo session!

Let's just say it's a good thing we didn't get dressed up, go to a mall, wait in line and pay lots of money....notice the bribery...uh, I mean lolli-pop...used for the last photo :)

What a day!

Today was too great for words...and now it's OFFICIAL!

Keep my chin up

Well, the first week back came and went...and now I prepare for week #2. I won't lie, or candy coat it- it SUCKS! BUT, to every cloud there is a silver lining....1. Only two weeks until winter break 2. The boys are with Randy 3. It will get easier...won't it??? 4. Look at what I come home to every day. (In case you haven't noticed, let me just publicly mention my husband's skinny face- he has lost 57+ pounds. Go Randy!!!)

We are prepping for a great week (despite my being back at work)! Eli's finalization is on Wednesday and his Godparent's are coming from Indiana to help us celebrate.

The last hurdle is finally here...
