• It's been a while

  To update you: Christmas was nice this year. My mom is not very happy where she lives, and it's not the safest for her. She spoiled us, even though she insisted it was the smallest Christmas she's ever had. I was just happy to see her. And we got to visit one of my best friends from high school a few days before Christmas. She had a baby boy in August, and it was the first I had seen him. He's a cutie, and he's huge! He was already eating baby food, and I swear he's probably already walking. We went out to dinner with my dad on Christmas eve day. There's another frustrating story. My parents drive me crazy sometimes. On Christmas day we drove down to my brother and his fiancee's house. They made a very nice dinner for us. And Matt got to play Wii for the first time. I admit, it is fun. I just don't like video games consuming vital daytime hours.

  The weekend of New Year's we drove down to West Virginia (not bad, 6 hour drive through beautiful Pennsylvania). We got to see Molly and her boyfriend, Amanda, Tim, Alicia, and their son Christopher, and John B. and his wife. It was a fun weekend with lots of game, Da being the bartender as usual, and a warm cozy celebration. It was nice seeing some of the EC gang again. I hope we'll do that tradition again next year, but we'll see.

  In two weeks we will be en route to Disney. Since we told Brennan we were going to Disney two days before Christmas, he has started calling here a lot more. We got him a book that describes and has pictures of the rides so he has an idea of what we'll be doing. He's checked out one of the promotional DVDs and given us a list of what he wants to do. Thanks to Tour Guide Mike, we should be able to do most of what he wants to do in 2 1/2 park days. Let's hope there are no meltdowns, and that he'll listen to us. It will be a challenge, since we both sometimes still have a hard time understanding him. He's been calling Matt almost nightly to talk to him before he goes to bed. He's such a sweetie. I love spoiling kids! I promise I will update with pictures when we get back.
