A new favorite

I am happy to report that a new movie has replaced Star Wars as #1 on Boomer's favorite movie list. Garrett introduced him to "The Princess Bride" last week, and he abslolutely loves it. We have watched it at least twice a day since then. Boomer wants to have it on as background "noise" while he plays, and he'll just stop playing to watch his favorite parts. So, now we act out Pirates and Princesses instead of Jedis and Ewoks. Of course, Boomer still loves to play with his Star Wars toys and watch the movies, but at least we've added some variety to his interests. Who would have ever thought a three year old would love "The Princess Bride"... INCONCEIVABLE!

We are a happy family!

Happy New Year

We had a very pleasent December, and enjoyed all the time Garrett and I got to spend together with our boys. It was strange not to be around any family, but also nice to concentrate on our own little family. We had fun decorating our house, and the Christmas bush that we used for our tree. As you can see in the picture below, we have two beautiful boys who provide us with all the entertainment that we need.

We enjoyed a weekend with friends up in Normal, IL over New Year's weekend. We appreciated Garrett's parents willingness to let us stay at their house for the weekend even though they were gone in England.

It has been somewhat of a struggle to get back into the grind of everyday life this past week after the holidays. However, we are optimistic as we start a new year and look forward to a new year of adventures.

Lots of Love, Jeanie and family
