happy new year! i’ve been enjoying my last day of vacation so i apologize for the lack of posts during the holidays… we had a flurry of activity here between christmas and new years, and like i said – today is my last day of peace and quiet before going back to work… i celebrated by going to IKEA this morning and then i FINALLY ordered all of deck’s photos for his 1st year album (kinda late, huh)… i really need to come up with a better system, like maybe assemble them every quarter because it’s quite time-consuming… ugh…
anyhoo, we had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed having deck all to ourselves for the week… he is getting busier and busier by the day, and just tears around the house like a maniac… we have to keep all the bathroom doors closed or he will either (1) play in the toilet, (2) get into the trashcan, or (3) all the above… he’s also been enjoying throwing things down the stairs and vegging out on his bean bag… we didn’t go overboard for presents and even though he got some really great toys – his favorite thing is a wrapping paper tube! oy vey! his best present was a wooden motorcycle rocker from my sister (which also came with a baby harley davidson helmet, vest, jacket, etc.)… so damn cute!
i finally got word from the elliptical company and it will be delivered on saturday! we totally have room in the basement, but i really want to get rid of the bowflex first and what a beast that is! ugh…
well, i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and new years… here’s to a happy and healthy 2012!
