Happy New Year!

2009 is here and I can hardly believe it! We rang in the new year at the Krueger's house with 4 other couples. We were the only ones with child in tow but thankfully Campbell is such a great sleeper we just put him upstairs in his pack-n-play and he slept thru all of the festivities. It was a fun night with a fabulous menu of fine cheeses to begin with, followed by pork, macaroni and cheese, goat cheese potatos au gratin, green beans, and a salad! YUMMMMY! It was perfect for my many cravings. I think Baby Spence was on food overload by the end of the meal. I guess I'm taking the "eating for two" a little too seriously! Now that the holidays are over, I need to start watching it because my doctor is a stickler about the weight. UGH!!!

On New Year's Day we went to the Shattls house (right around the corner) for their New Year's open house. They had tons of great food (just great given my needing to watch how much I eat). Campbell enjoyed playing with Sophia and telling everyone Happy New Year!

It's been a nice weekend (playing at the neighborhood playground) and hanging around the house with awesome fires going. We are gearing up for school to start back this week. I am looking forward to Campbell going back to school and I think he is too. I think he's getting a little bored with me. He's very excited to tell Ms. Jeanine and Ms. Hula (his teachers) that he's going to be a big brother. He keeps "Campbell big brother" and then says "tell Jeanine and Hula that." He's also learned to be gentle with Mommy's belly because the baby is in there. I'm sure he'll be quite surprised when my belly begins to get bigger.

Campbell will also start his JW Tumbles class on Wednesday. He'll do this every Wednesday for 2 months. It's an in-door play room where the instructors work with the kids on different things. He did it last winter and it's a great activity during the cold winter months.

On January 16th, we will be heading with the Price family to Wisp Ski Resort in western Maryland. It's the weekend prior to Obama's inauguration and we decided to get away from the madness and enjoy a fun weekend. Jason and Jeff are planning on doing the skiing while Meredith and I play with the kids and maybe even hit the spa while the guys takeover with the kiddos for a while!

In February, we will get ready to head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Campbell is very excited and can't wait to see Jason ride on the float.

Lots of fun ahead! Stay tuned for updates and pictures and remember to check our picasaweb album - link to the left - often. Pictures are updated there very often.

Again, Happy New Year!
