BRING ON 2010!

1) I will work out and reduce the flab on my body I have gained after having the two kids.

2) I will try to make more hubby quality time.

3) I will probably just continue to do the other things, that I try to do on a daily basis anyways. You know, Like be a good Mom, pray, and shower. haha.

We have a three day weekend ahead. And I am pumped. Tonight, I will bring in the new year by snoozing softly away on my pillow, knowing that at between 1-2am one child or the other will wake me. Tomorrow, Ben is going with Dad to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. I will also go see a movie by myself, that I am way too excited about doing. I will make my mother in laws famous clam chowder and Chicken Salad. We will go to Jake's Christmas Party on Saturday night. And either Saturday or Sunday take the kids swimming at the YMCA or Arc in columbia. YAY! Ben is going to have so much fun.

And since I haven't done any comparison pictures in a while......

This is Ben at 6.5 months.

This is Jonna at 5.5 months.

Fooled you didn't I...... Haha, First one is Jonna, second one is Ben.
Have a Happy MERRY 2010!

Christmas Week 2009

Ben talking to Grandma Holee on the phone on Christmas Day!

Family Photo attempt right before Christmas Mass.



Ben playing with his train track! Santa Hat and all.

These shots are taken in the early morning, waiting for Ben and Jake to get out of bed to open Santa Claus's presents.

She is always at her happiest when she wakes in the morning.

Jonna smiles, and Benjamin Blurbs

Nothing lightens up my day more than an ear to ear grin from Jonna Baby at 6am, or Ben telling me that he is going to stay home with Dad today, and not go to work with me. Ben never comes to work with me, but he especially wanted to clarify that today.

Santa Claus is coming MOM!

This is from the kids' daycare Christmas party. Benjamin was such a big boy. He sat right up on Santa's lap, told him he wanted a fire truck and Train track, and even gave him a hug goodbye as he was leaving the building. It was priceless.

And as you can see Jonna enjoyed herself also as you notice the drool coming down her chin.
