Out With the Old, In With the New:

New Years Eve:

Nathan

Nathan & Blake

Nathan
We stayed home and babysat for Shelley and Kenny Allen. We must be getting old, we had a good time just staying at home and watching the kids. The baby was very good(he hardly ever cries and laughs out loud and coos when you talk to him)and Blake kept us entertained. He has quite the imagination! Blake had us put his sleeping bag on my side of the bed and Nathan's play pen on Dwayne's side. He had everything planned out. My husband, bless his heart, got up with Nathan for the 2 a.m. feeding and I got up with him at 6 a.m. Dwayne always helped with our kids but to help out and change someone else's child is a great help.
New Years Day:
We played with the kids that morning until Kenny and Shelley got there. Blake had went in and straightened up his sleeping bag for the next day. He thought they were staying another night. When Kenny and Shelley got there he said, I thought we were spending the weekend. Guess we aren't too bad of babysitters if he wanted to stay longer.
That afternoon, we went for a drive to look at the river and on over to Belle to visit Dwayne's cousin, Reba. We had a nice visit and caught up on the family news.
Saturday:
I spent the morning putting away Christmas decorations and cleaning. In the afternoon, I went to a childhood friend's daughter's wedding(try saying that out loud a few times, run on sentence galore). It was a beautiful wedding and the bride just glowed with happiness.
That night, Dwayne and I went to Applebees. They were extremely busy, so the service was slow, but the food was good. We had a relaxing evening watching TV.
Sunday:
Dwayne and I went to Church, then picked up dinner at G & W. April and Mike were at the house when we got home, luckily, they had already ate as we only bought enough for the two of us. That evening for our family meal, we had April, Mike, Kate, Kensie, me and Dwayne. The boys had fixed a huge meal at Chad's house so they didn't come up.
It was nice to have Kate and Kensie visit. We're hoping and praying for a good 2010 for Kate, she deserves it.
I hope all had a great start to the new year.

  1. Blake said that he had lots of fun and wants to have another sleepover sometime. He is always thinking and planning ahead which is a good quality to have and a very rare one for a child.
    Nathan is a good baby and I hope that next time he will sleep all night for you.
