A Clean Slate

Happy New Year!  Wow, 2011....where indeed does the time go?

We spent a quiet, uneventful NYE at home, with hockey on TV and a sushi dinner after the kiddos were in bed. Today was spent de-cluttering and de-Christmasing the house.  I'm always a bit surprised at how much GLITTER comes with the spirit of Christmas....I vacuumed the living room for a good twenty minutes and there still are spots.  Things are slowly coming back together.

I was home for a few days this week with the boys, including one day that brought Sean's front teeth and a rather crazy snowstorm!  Sean had the cutest hockey grin, with the two front teeth missing.  Now he's got four on the top and two on the bottom, and absolutely did NOT enjoy the process.  Poor little buddy.  I simply cannot believe that he is going to be a year old in ten days.  He loves exploring the house (with his favorite things being the dog food and water bowls, and the TV remotes)  and he absolutely loves to eat!  Tonight's dinner was blueberries, green beans, cheerios, corn and butternut squash.  He still cried when that was all gone...at the rate he's eating he'll be six feet tall by his birthday!

It's been nice being home, but a little stir-crazy for all of us.  Monday morning brings back our normal routine....which is somewhat of a blessing after a crazy month of Holidays.

Best wishes and Happy New Year...again.  :)
