Hello Yr 2010.

New Year. New Baby. New Mommy & Daddy. And the holidays are finally over, we survived & had such a wonderful Christmas with family, Oliver was a very spoiled little boy =) And I was able to introduce Oliver to friends, Leighton, Sarah, their son Henry, the Henrys (best friend Kim & her fiance Tom) & Marcell & her mom Jeri came over for a visit. It's so fun to introduce our little boy & convince them that they need to have their own...soon! Haha.

Michael & I celebrated New Years 13 hours away from each other. =( Mike made it to Colorado the day before New Years Eve & began the search for our new home in Basalt. =) Oliver & I rang in the New Year together by watching the Iowa State bowl game, I made Mac & Cheese & we fell asleep by 9:30! Wow, a bit different than years past, but so much better than waking up the next day in a glitterized stale champagne haze! We sent Daddy a 'Happy New Years' text at 1 aM to compensate for the hour change & he sent us a photo of the fireworks that woke him up at midnight there! We are so excited to start the year 2010 as a family. Oliver & I cannot wait to get out to Colorado to join Daddy real soon! And Michael & I are so happy to have a healthy little baby who continues to grow & make us laugh everyday. Cheers to a great 2010 everyone! Here's Oliver on NYE, swinging & watching the Cyclones win...
