Happy new year!
Well, it would be a happy new year if each and every one of us weren’t sick.
After a whirlwind couple of weeks, what with Collin in the hospital (he’s fine now), Christmas, Brandy having to deal with 15 consecutive days with both kids home, and the usual hectic nature of life, we’ve left 2008 behind and started 2009 tired.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Gareth and Collin both had a great Christmas and got lots (and lots) of gifts. Gareth benefits from having a two-fer month in December with his birthday on the 3rd and Christmas the 25th. After this month is over, we usually have to spend time getting rid of all the old toys with which Gare no longer plays.
Collin is not yet to that point. The point to which he is, however, is the very vocal, chatty point. He’s making a lot of noise these days to let us know he’s happy, excited, hungry, tired, and soiled. He loves taking baths and enjoys a good round of beatboxing. [For the sake of clarity, Travis beatboxes, Collin listens.]
