Resolution Recaps

These were our new years resolutions from last year.

Abby's list:
1. Learn to walk and finally catch Maize
2. Learn to use a spoon so she can feed herself ice cream and cheese cake and not have to share it with her mom.
3. Learn enough words to boss everyone around

Jen's list:
1. Read through the entire Bible at least once this year
2. Lose the last 10 baby/law school pounds
3. Learn to make knitted (as opposed to crocheted) baby blankets

Steve's list:
1. Lose more weight than Jen does
2. ???
3. ???

Apparently only Abby was successful, since she daily terrorizes Maize, feeds herself anything she can get on a spoon that tastes good, and knows enough words to hold a conversation. She has certainly changed in so many wonderful ways in the last year.

I, on the other hand, have only made it through 1/2 of my Bible this year (which I still say is pretty successful considering I have very little time when a small person is not supervising me and she does not tolerate me reading anything - she barely lets me use the computer). I'm pretty sure I've gained way, way more than 10 pounds, so I don't think I can say I've lost that last 10. And the knitted blanket happened, but looked like a giant dish rag, so we put it into the doll box. Oh well... there is always 2010!

I'm not sure if Steve lost any weight, but since all I've done for the last few months is gain I'd say he is safe in claiming he lost more weight than I did.

I'm sure this year will have many, many new and interesting challenges and we haven't yet sat down to decide what, if any, New Year's resolutions we plan on making. We're just too busy playing with Abby and all her new things.

New Year's Resolutions

Abby had a silly start to her new year, and we all hope you had a great start too! We spent New Year's Eve with Dr. Dave and his family, Dr. Bruce, and Dr. Alice and everyone had a wonderful time. Abby was especially glad that she got to have 2 whole slices of cheesecake, approved by Dr. Alice, the family physician. She was also awake when the ball dropped and when Robbie Knievel did his big motorcycle trick. And after all that partying, Abby was sleeping in as late as possible this morning!

We are making New Year's Resolutions again, even though we don't usually achieve them. Here is Abby's list:
1. Learn to walk and finally catch Maize
2. Learn to use a spoon so she can feed herself ice cream and cheese cake and not have to share it with her mom.
3. Learn enough words to boss everyone around

Jen's list:
1. Read through the entire Bible at least once this year
2. Lose the last 10 baby/law school pounds
3. Learn to make knitted (as opposed to crocheted) baby blankets

Steve's list:
1. Lose more weight than Jen does
2. ???
3. ???

Another exiting note to pass along, Abby learned how to dismount from her riding pony. Now she just has to figure out what to do once she gets off and how to get back on.
