New Year - 2007

Happy New Year! 2007 promises to be a busy and exciting year! Since we have moved into the new house, Avery and Andrew have learned how fun it is to play outside. Between their new cars and their new swingset (Thank you Uncle Adam, Uncle Alan and PawPaw!), they have stayed busy for hours on end. The other day they spent no less than 3 hours playing in the backyard. They were so nice to each other - most of the time! The best part was that I could see them from inside the house and do things I needed to do while they played. I've never been able to do that before.

Wade came home from work yesterday to find that Avery had hot tea ready for him!

And here is the tea party hostess herself!

Alas, Andrew never made it to the tea party. He fell asleep around 5:30 p.m. and wouldn't even wake for dinner! We ended up putting him to bed in his jeans and shirt and he slept all night long. I had to wake him up at 7 a.m. this morning! And judging by the amount of whining he is doing right now, I'd say he needs to head back to bed :)

Love is..... Letting your big sister drive YOUR car when hers experienced a battery slowdown!

Just decided to throw in a cool picture of the house at night! The kids were out for a late night driving session!

The longer they drove, the more erratic the driving became. Andrew went over the curb and into the yard. "OOPS!!"

See my knee at the bottom right on the picture? Yeah, the driving was getting really bad. I was sitting in a chair at the end of the driveway and was nearly knocked out of it by my little Speed Racer!

That's all for know! I'm off to the Bridal Extravaganza with Mom, Amy and Bethany tomorrow morning. Nothin' like being around a bunch of crazy brides-to-be for a day!!! Gosh, I think it was 10 YEARS AGO that I went to my first Bridal Extravaganza - does that make me old?? (Yes Dad, it does!) I'm only 29, but Dad reminds me that it's all downhill from here. Since he claims that I am almost 40 now (even though I'm not 30 yet), I have decided that using that kind of math, he must be approaching 80 :)
