HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008

We rung in the new year in a pretty low key way. Tim and Rhianna and their two kids came over for a few hours. We ate turkey pot pie and hamburgers and, of course, chocolate chip cookies (if you know Rhianna you can never have a get together without some yummy cookies!). It was a spur of the moment get together but a lot of fun none-the-less. PJ, Calvin and Emmy enjoyed watching "The Jungle Book" while Emmy's little bro went to sleep in the pack and play. We didn't stay up until midnight but I did hear some fireworks being shot off all around us.

The kids have gone thru serious grandparent withdrawl and we've also had to get back into our routines. Adele is getting herself on a pretty decent schedule...now going to bed USUALLY between 10 and 11 for the night and getting up between 7-9AM. She is so precious and just coos and talks and smiles during her awake times. She really enjoys her mobile and loves to be talked to, as we all do! =) PJ and Calvin still shower her with kisses and lots of affection. Calvin still comes over to her and touches her little toes and fingers with a big grin on his face. PJ comments on what "a precious kind of baby" she is and how sweet she is. He is quite proud and protective of both her and Calvin. It's nice to see his brotherly love coming out!


Paul got it in his head to make a rocking horse for the boys and so he got to work the other day and finished it up yesterday. I must say, he did a pretty good job of it! The boys LOVE it and now we've satisfied PJ's burning desire to buy a horse. He really wants us to paint it black (for Black Beauty) but we'll have to see about that.

Hope your new year's was great!
