Okay I copied this update idea from D* but I honestly can't think of a better way to do a long overdue update. So here it goes:
-August found us in Disneyworld with the Walsh family again! We had a wonderful time at the Port Orleans French Quarter although we all agreed the Wilderness Lodge is still our favorite. Finally, everyone rode the Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain this trip and Julia decided her new favorite ride is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Christopher really likes Buzz Lightyear's Spin. Soon they will both only want to go on the thrill rides and I'll be sittin' on a bench waiting. We also squeezed in a trip to Gatorland where Julia wrestled an alligator.
- September saw a new school year begin. It is so hard for me to believe that Julia is now in THIRD grade and Christopher in FIRST grade. Time is racing. Julia also started practice as a level 4 gymnast and Chris started tennis lessons.
-October saw Julia's first gymnastics meet. She did great! It is however so stressful for me watching. I always have aching muscles from sitting so still watching her perform her routines. Halloween found us trick or treating with our friends and attending a very crazy Halloween party. Julia dressed as a vampiress and Chris was a crypt keeper. I was Mary Poppins and Anthony was a very creepy Joker.
- November ushered in yet another one of my birthdays-Yikes! Thanksgiving was spent at our house with friends and family and I wouldn't have it any other way. Julia had a fabulous showing at the Turkey Tumble and qualified for the State Gymnastics Cup. We also went to the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Stamford with the S Family and had so much fun. Next year it will be even better because we'll know where to sit not to have people shoving us back (LOL)!
- December brought another wonderful Christmas and we spent it with family celebrating the end to 2009! As we all know this hasn't been our best year but good things are on the horizon I just know it!
- January welcomes a new year! I cannot believe it is 2010! I spent New Years Eve with my 3 favorite people and favorite dog. We all stayed up past midnight. Anthony celebrated another birthday and is officially as old as me (LOL).
ahhh that brings us up to February. So far so good and more to come. XO
