OK January is Not so Bad!

Turns out January is not so bad after all-in January our family celebrates two special birthdays-my moms on the 9th and Brady's sis Megan tomorrow on the 11th. Happy birthday you two! And also Uncle Kyle and Aunt Julies anniversary is in January! We had a nice visit with Bob, Mary Jane and Megan today and my parents are coming up tomorrow. We love visits from family and friends. And we also have a party to look forward to this month celebrating Megan's graduation from ISU in nursing! Way to go Meg. So even though I did have a couple minor breakdowns this weekend because of exhaustion, and lack of time for personal hygiene and appearance, and exercise, the snow is beautiful and Rodi is being a good dog-she only licks Deck every so often, and Brady and I as much as we'll let her.

Party Like It's 1999

Remember when the year 2000 was coming in and the Prince song made a come back?? Good times! Well, I've decided that I really don't like the New Years holiday-every year seems like a big let down. And after Christmas and Thanksgiving it's just the long cold winter to look forward to. Sure we have lots to be thankful for (and look forward to in the new year)-one being the little man but the winter blues still get me down. I did get out with Ro today to soak up what little vitamin D the exposed skin on my face could absorb. Deck living in the climate controlled environment of our house doesn't even realize it's winter-every day is warm and cozy for him as it should be-although I am worried he's not getting enough fresh air. I'm constantly obsessing over the humidity and temp of our house. Anyway-here he is happy as a clam over the fact that he found his toes!! Happy New Year.
