Happy 2009

Ok, so it has been a couple of days since the new year, but HAPPY NEW YEAR just the same. Guess who got two teeth this last week? Yep, Noah. It was a little late for Christmas, but they came nonetheless.:) Good or Bad? That is still to be decided :)At least, he can't use those teeth as an excuse to not sleep now. ha ha

So here is the 2008 countdown:
10 Glen going back to school for his masters.
9 My parents returning from their mission in Africa
8 I broke my wrist
7 Noah was born
6 Hanging out with my parents in the summer
5 Jaron turned 2
4 Noah rolls before 4 months
3 Best buddy brother friends
2 Noah army crawls (fast!) and can traditionally crawl backwards at 7 months
1 Preset dates to the theater with my hubby for the new year. Wahoo! What a great man have I!

For New Year's Eve we got together with my sister Lisa and her family. The boys had fun playing together and we had fun talking,eating, playing Lord of the Rings the boardgame, and chatting with my other sister on the phone. Pretty low key, but nice.


So,here are some quotes that go along with the theme of my new year resolutions. I decided to set some goals in three different areas: mental, physical, and spiritual. All of the goals that I set have to go along with the theme Simplify.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
Hans Hofmann
