Welcome to 2010

The holidays are finished, toys put away, boxes taken by the garbage truck and life is back to "normal". Whatever that means. This was the first full week back at school and work for everyone and nobody liked it! The holidays went by so fast but we had a great time, especially on Christmas morning. We went to Pam and Paul's the night before like usual and got home at around 10:30. I had to wake EJ up in the morning to show him that Santa had come! The look on his face when he saw his ride on truck was priceless. He was stunned for a full 5 minutes before he woke up and really got into presents!!!
Winter has already reared its ugly head many, many times. We've been hit with 14 inches of snow in one storm, bitter cold temperatures and the temperatures hasn't been above 32 in weeks. I know its much colder other parts of the country but this long cold spell has been rough! I am soooo happy I found a jacket that I love that keeps me toasty warm!!
Trying to be good and get back into regular exercise. I had this weird ear issue, called tinuitis last month that caused flapping noises in my ear. I had to take it easy and rest so I was out of zumba for a week or so. I now take the class but with earplugs to help protect my ears from the noise. Still love it!!!
Elijah is growing up too fast. The other night he was crawling around in his bed and tried to get over the top of his rail - he fell right out of bed. He came running out bawling his eyes out saying "mama do I need stitches" ... I was thankful that NO he did not, nor did he need a cast!! This kid is going to shave 20 years off of my life!! He's doing very well in his 3 year old room, he is practicing writing his name - its soo cute!! He brings home these amazing art projects, I have started a box of his projects to save them to show them as he gets older. He is still best friends with Jordan, they pal around together at school and play together on the weekends when we can.
Chris's health issues seems to have resolved themselves. He is "on a mission" to eat healthier. They just had the annual "he-man" meeting and they are heading out to California this year - San Francisco to be exact. How jealous am I? I LOVE San Fran!!!
Starting to plan a trip to Disney for the family in late May!!! How exciting. I can't wait to go, we will have so much fun!!!
That's about it for now - so much to look forward to this year!!!
