Christmas has come and gone so quickly.  The boys are back to their lives in Chicago and Lexington :(.  It was fun to have them both home at the same time.  We’re hosting New Years tonight.  It’s easier for us to have it here as opposed to going out.  We can put Ellie in bed at a decent time and continue to enjoy our friends!  It will probably be a low key evening.  I wouldn’t say we’re party animals at this stage of life (were we ever?) but I am looking forward to enjoying a low key evening with the beaches.  One of my New Year’s goals is to try to use this blog!  A couple of months ago I decided to try to use more technology ie: I-Cal and other software am I’m soooo proud to say I’m doing it. Hopefully this will be the year I use this blog and get my I-Photos organized and printed!!  Happy New Year
