This month started out with a "Bang". We spent New Years Eve at the movies. National Treasure is a new favorite of our family. We promptly came home and went to bed... ahhh the life of married with children. ha ha ha

So much going on, it's hard to remember everything. I am feeling extremely scatterbrained lately. Thanks so much to my mom, though, I got a wonderful calendar for Christmas that allows me to keep up on all that the kids and my dh is doing. Bill is starting a new job and trying to learn all the ins and outs of things. This means a lot of late hours and weekends. Emily is beginning her girl scout cookie sales this month, so watch out for phone calls and visits from her. Thursday is her first day of piano lessons. She is so excited! Robert has his first gymnastics competition on the 26th. He has been undergoing very intense training, and has received an award from his school for his performance on the pommel horse. We are so proud of the effort both the kids have put into their extra curricular activities, while still maintaining their studies. There will be pictures to follow... of course!

And last but certainly not least, Mr. William turns 3 on the 23rd. Wow, it's hard to believe that my baby who I held in my arms for so many hours is now a big boy! I am just beginning to plan his party. He really doesn't want a "theme", but he seems to think that birthdays mean balloons, candles and streamers... whoda thought it? What am I going to do with something so simple... well you know me, I will find a way to make it into a production!
