Happy New Year!!!

Oh my! IT has been so long since I posted anything! We had such a nice holiday vacation. Today is the last official day. Tomorrow starts the weekend of trying to get everyone back on schedule. So much has happened though. Dave and I both got sick right before thanksgiving. We had bronchitis. I took all my medicine and went to the doctor 2x and got better after 3.5 weeks. Dave did not and got pnuemonia. I lost 6 pounds, got Z potty trained and fit back in my skinny jeans. Dave finally got better and he lost a bunch of weight too. He told me he weighs less than he did when he was training for the marathon. I would think that some kind soul changed our scale, but then there is the fact that I am fitting into my pants!

Ike is changing like crazy. He has his first tooth, is pulling up on everything and says dadada all the time. His favorite is to crawl into the kitchen and pull the stools back and forth across the tile floor. It makes the most horrible grating sound you have ever heard. Z is his absolute favorite and anything Z does sets Ike to giggling.

Z is hilarious. His newest trick is to run around shouting, 'yes sir' and saluting. He also wants to play castle. I am a princess, Ike is a baby dragon and Z is a 'knife'.

The bigs are good. We have had a great vacation. We went to the dino museum with some of the calendar girls. Then we had burritos for lunch and Ike got to sit with the college boys. Then we had sleepovers. Christmas came and it was fabulous. Nathan got NHL2k10 for wii, Sarah got a new mp3 player and I got a laptop! After Christmas we finally got some snow and we have sledded, built a snowman (which fell this morning!) and a snowfort. Last night was NYE and we had so much fun. We discussed highpoints for the year (most revovled around Ike) and our resolutions for next year. They are: to run a 1/2 marathon in under 2.10, to get a shutout, learn to skate, get a backhandspring and have monthly date nights.
