Hello 2010!

This year has been off with a bang and we are busy, busy, busy as usual. We actually stayed up until midnight this New Years...it's the first in a long time. We were invited to ring in the New Year with some of our new neighbors and their kids. The boys had a blast and were still going strong at 11:30 when we decided we should probably get them to bed. We have had a couple of opportunities to start meeting our neighbors in the last few weeks. It has been so much fun meeting everyone and there are SO many kids in this neighborhood! We are already counting the days until the pool opens! We keep hearing from our neighbors how much time they spend there in the summer. Hopefully this super cold streak will let up a little and we can head over to the playground soon. The boys have found some interesting ways to occupy themselves in the meantime...

Blake wearing a swim floatie...over his jammies.

The boys rolling around the rug - I don't know why, but they were having fun.

Luke walking around in his rainboots while brushing his teeth.

The rainboots again...clearly he loves them.

We have been busy in the last few weeks playing with old friends and meeting new ones too. Last weekend I went with my friend, Michelle, to see the Titanic exhibit at the Science Museum while Blake, Chloe, Luke and the Dads played at our house. (Minnesotans - it's a really good exhibit and they have extended it to the 24th of this month if you are interested). Today Blake and I headed to the Children's Museum with some co-workers and their children. It was a lot of fun and I got to cuddle with new baby Julia too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our nice long vacation and were both really sad to go back to reality last week. It was so nice to have that time to get unpacked and settled and to spend some quality time with our boys. Work is still as crazy as ever and here in a few weeks I'm off to Vegas again for market. At least it will warmer there. :)
