Wow, it's been a REALLY long time!!

Funny how life gets really, really busy when you are a parent of two beautiful children, working full time and in the middle of the reno from h*ll!!! Oh well I still have a job, the renovation is coming to a close, the children are still beautiful and I am still married to the most wonderful man on the face of the earth!! WOW am I lucky or what!! January is always a time to reflect on our past year and the one thing I noticed is that we we had a great year but it certainly was not one where we stopped to smell the roses. It seemed rush, rush, rush and this is something I am looking to change in this New Year! I want to spend more time with family, with friends and with my wonderful travel mates and extended family that we met on our two trips to China. I also hope to have a chance to do more interesting things with the kids, stop worrying about the housework, it will always be there, and just have more FUN!!! With that in mind we hosted a post holiday celebration last night with our close friends the Lees, Ross' and Carrolls. We cooked a 31.5 pound turkey (YUP 31.5 pounds!!!!) and let the kids go wild!! It was a great night and we look forward to many more in 2011. I am posting some random pictures from the past year, a year in review if you will....ENJOY!!!! Here is to a great New Year!

Uh Oh...Where da babies???
















We took our first trip away from the girls in over two years a little mommy and daddy time if you will. Since Sophia came home we were away from her only one night and it was time to teach her that we can leave and we will come back and well why not do it over a week in Mexico??? We had a blast and the kids were spoiled rotten, in the best way, by their grandparents and JJ is already asking when we are going away again!!
