New Year... Same Old Routine

Christmas break is officially over and the kids start back to school tomorrow morning. Back to setting alarm clocks, getting up early, running to classes, practicing the instruments (time to pull out the Motrin), picking kids up, running here and there and of course all that HOMEWORK!!! Its amazing how fast two weeks can go!!! On Christmas Eve we went to church and then went to Kristin and Joe's to spend time with our family. The picture is of all the cousins together, one is not soo excited about the picture but all were excited to open presents. We had a quiet Christmas day with the boys and our fury children too. The dogs thought the wrapping paper was the greatest present ever!!! The boys got the Wii they asked for from Santa and Tom and I had just as much fun playing it as the boys did. In the last month we had two surprises, that two of my sisters are expecting babies this summer. Looking ahead to the next nine months I am excited for my sisters!!! Kristin will be experiencing the new mom thing for the first time and Samantha is a old pro with number 3 on the way. It will make family get togethers that much noisier and busy!!! It is exciting to have two great blessings to look forward to in the next year. So hold on I'm sure 2009 will be quite the ride!!!
