HAPPY 2009!!!!!

We are Happy to be in 2009. Today we talked about things we might need to change and work on as a family, such as all of us need to be a little (lot!) neater around the house!! We shouldn't worry in the doorbell rings that the house is a frightful MESS. It is clean just MESSY quite a bit. We talked about few other things during a good lunch at La Hacienda.

(oops have to stop to recognize that Grayson is raising both arms WAY up in the air!. He and Gage are playing in the floor, wrestling and playing ball. This interaction is wonderful for Grayson. Gage has been playing with him for an hour, he is so so patient with Grayson and teaching him so so much!!)

So,mom and dad back to work Friday. Gage has been invited to a play date with his friend Matthew. We are all friends, and enjoy spending time with them. Grayson will be home with Jessica.

Did I already mention that Gage had an awesome time at the Wake Forest vs Radford game?? Jarrett invited his brother in law Van to go, (my sister Jackie's husband). They had really good seats and Radford played well, although Jarrett says he knew Wake Forest would win, hello they are #6 in the nation!We all really enjoy sports. I will go to as many of the Upward basketball games as I can with baby Grayson.

Gage never fell asleep last night before ringing in the new year. He LOVED being up with us. We all stood up to count down about the last 15 seconds of the new yr, then cheered our glasses and hugged and kissed each other, awwww so sweet!!!!! I actually fell asleep a little while on the couch before time to celebrate.

Today we ran a few errands, trying to find some pants or bibs for Gage to wear tubing. We also went to Home Depot, Jarrett wanted an axe since we have wood and have been having a fire the last few nights. He found me 2 great wreaths on clearance! yah!

I have been basically worthless today, did get some laundry done. Jarrett and I talked alot about wanting to get together with friends more this yr, having them over and going on date nights!
