It must be new year resolution time, because here I am actually blogging and so far I have been eating right. If I start exercising tomorrow, it will be a trio of attempted good habits. Well, here's to hoping all goes well.
I really do love the beginning of January. I mean, I really don't like the January blahs, and I don't like the inversion and yucky weather. Here comes another New Year's Resolution (hereafter referred to as NYR's as this is getting ridiculous). I should spend at least 3 or 4 days up in the mountains this winter. Get some beautiful sunshine and mountain air. Where was I when I started this paragraph? Oh yeah, the beginning of January. I feel partied out. The house is one big Christmas explosion. I am so ready for a normal schedule and a clean house. I like the relative calm of January once it gets here. Of course pretty soon the shut in, non-social schedule gets old and I am so ready for the warm outside gardening of spring. That, of course, is the beauty of the year, Once I get tired of one thing, the next thing comes along. The traditions always bind it together without things getting old.
Our week in review:
All about the family and the parties. We spent so much time with family and it was wonderful. It was Allen family heavy. This is okay though, because in 2 weeks we will be going to Disney Land with the Humphrey clan. MaryIrene and Jeff were here, so we were trying to get together with them as much as possible. We saw Tron with them (liked it). We had a dinner at Fuji with Mike's siblings and parents. For some of them it was the first time going to a Japanese grill so it was so fun to watch their reactions. We played Band Hero/Guitar Hero with Jeff and MaryIrene. We had a New Year's Eve party at Steve and Jen's (I made it to midnight). We had a New Year's Day Party with the extended Allen family (with a giant bounce house and slide...the kids were in heaven). In between it all, I did my first sewing project with my new sewing machine that I got for Christmas. I embellished a shirt and I think it turned out really cute: so proud of myself. We played with Logan's new Lego game, and with his new Lego sets. Kaylinn got lots of cats for Christmas mostly. She has been happily playing make believe with them.
Madeline update:
She is so close to crawling. Just in the last couple of days she started sitting almost completely by herself. She just has a bobble occasionally that send her over. But it won't be long until she can do it completely by herself. She has started pushing herself up to her side so that she can check things out from a higher vantage point. She can scoot herself quite a bit now to get at what she wants. My baby is almost a crawler. It also means she is finding less pleasure in just sitting and cuddling with me. I find each of these milestones to be bittersweet. I am so happy for the strides she is making. I love that she is growing right, but then I think how sad I am to reach these milestones for the last time.
I guess I better add take more pictures of the family to my list of NYR's as I have no pictures to post right now. I have been a very bad archivist this Holiday season. Yea for resolutions and the chance to start fresh in a new year!
