2009

Happy New Year! I guess I have to start making a conscious effort to update this blog more regularly. Does anyone even read it? Leave me a message if you do!

Ok. So what have we been up to...we moved and got settled into the new house at the end of September but I think I already went over that previously. October was an expensive month what with purchasing new livingroom furniture and painting the livingroom and hallway. Halloween came, and our house was spooked by a live Optimus Prime.

Cohen started daycare on November 12th, we had another big furniture purchase for our bedroom which also meant new paint was in order, haha. Our families hosted a Housewarming Party for us on November 22nd, which was a great opportunity to show off our new house, and to get together with friends and family. It was a wonderful time and we received many generous gifts! The end of November brought the annual Santa Claus parade, and Cohen and I also took in Max & Ruby at the local Civic Center.

December was a busy month preparing for Christmas. Lots of decorating and baking in preparation for the Big Day. Many evenings were spent watching Christmas programs on t.v., writing out Christmas cards, visiting and attending family get-togethers. Christmas was wonderful at our house this year - Cohen's best year yet! The excitement of Christmas with a child is truly majestic and I can't wait to see what next year brings. Lot of Transformers, clothes, movies, etc. I turned 29 on the 29th (bleah) and we spent a quiet New Years Eve at home on the couch.

January came in with a bang - we had a major snow storm/blizzard on the 1st and received a dumping of 49 cms of snow! The Island was shut down for the whole day and for most of the next...lots of snow to be removed so everything was pretty well either closed or delayed. I was off of work from December 24th - January 5th, so yesterday was my first day back. It's nice to be into a normal routine again with meals, bedtimes, etc.

Well, that's pretty well everything that has been going on with us, in a nutshell. 2009 will have a hard time meeting or exceeding how great 2008 was, but hopeully it will be a great year!!
