Happy New Year!

or A Challenging Message Directed at the Year 2009


Greetings, 2009!

At this time of year, many people reflect on the past year. And naturally they wonder, "What will the new year bring?"
But here at our house, the kids have decided to bring it to the new year.

So, here you go, 2009. This is what the kids have in store for you:

Rory says piano lessons are in her future. I guess we better get going on acquiring a piano. And she thinks first grade will be fun. And that she'll have her own locker. Aren't lockers a bit much for the organizaitonal and storage needs of a first grader? I foresee many more lost articles of clothing and such.

Soren says she'll be turning 4 years old and will go to big-girl swimming lessons. There will also be more preschool. A lot of structure.

They both say they'll be going to the beach in 2009. I'm not so sure about this. It may be Princeton Beach on the Mississippi.

Beck just wants to grow and play. He's pretty sure he'll be turning one this year. And reaching all those baby first-year milestones. You know, eating solid food, crawling, etc.

Happy New Year!!
