Colin the big helper
Colin has been really wanting to help around the house lately. It has been precious to see. Vacuuming, cooking, washing/rinsing dishes...I have a feeling we don't have a typical four-year old boy. Isn't the older child normally the role model? See the pictures in the slide show below. Enjoy!

Happy New Year 2009
We wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2009. We hope that your 2008 ended wonderfully and that you will enjoy many blessings in the new year.
I'm just curious if anyone still makes New Year's Resolutions? It seems that most of the resolutions I hear of are something like, "I'm starting this," or "I'm not going to do that." My resolutions seem to be more progressive. For example, for 2009, I'd like to work on getting my home cleaned up, organized, and to keep it that way. I've had enough with the chaos, but I know that this is something that I can't just snap my fingers and make happen. I need to figure out a system, and I need to get my family to help me with the system too.
My other resolution is to figure out a good workout schedule and to get back into a routine. I'd prefer to find something that doesn't involve me getting up every morning at 5:30 BUT one that my son will allow me to keep. I haven't been inside the gym since prior to school starting in the fall. I had planned to go 2-3 times a week, but Colin refuses to go to the gym's childcare by himself. This obstacle has left me with the only option of going back to getting up at 5:30, which obviously hasn't happened. Again, going to take some time and commitment to figure this one out!
So, now that 2009 has started, it is time to start problem solving and some creative thinking. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks, I will be able to report some progress!
