You know you want one...

Now we all are weary of the only for TV products. But you have to admit, sometimes you come across one that looks pretty cool. I was tempted to buy that little hand steamer to be totally honest. I mean it was only 20 bucks! But the snuggie blanket was one that I hadn't thought I would need. The commercial was so cheesy. I mean c'mon, its just a blanket. The people wearing them looked like monks! Well little did I know that we would get them as a Christmas present from Veronica's sister Christina.

So today we tried them out, and I have to admit its a warm blanket. One down side I have noticed is that they produce some good static electricity - Ouch. All in all they are pretty nice. Anyways we couldn't resist taking funny pictures with them on.

Happy Birthday Veronica

Allie and Daddy wanted to wish you very Happy
Birthday!

Me and Allie playing with daddies mac

I knew she was a mac just like daddy when I first laid eyes on her. Here I was introducing her to the photobooth application on my macbook. After a while even mom jumped in. She's a pop star what can I say. Technology can be so fun sometimes.

New Years Resolutions

First of all I didn't even know we had a "family" blog. (I wasn't even setup to be an author) But now that I know about it, (and can contribute) I will add my two cents every so often. 

With the new year storming in, we all tend to think up ideas or things to start doing that we have always wanted to do, but never really wanted to do that much. Honestly if we wanted to do all these things the whole time, why didn't we just start doing them in June or October? Anyways, thats what's so great about the new year, we get to put our 2 quarters in the machine and start over. With that in mind, like everyone else I decided to do way too many things, and add them to my already busy schedule! Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Don't worry, this year I thought of everything. I added a resolution that will add 2 extra hours to my day. More on that later. Everyone from the The Today Show to CNN were talking about how to make resolutions (never had a problem with that) or tips like writing down your resolutions so you can refer back to them later. As a matter of fact, I am killing two birds with one stone by putting them in this blog right now.

Here is my list, so far:

• Organize the House (regularly)
  
• Check the mail (regularly)
  
• Read the mail (regularly)
  
• Get to work on time (regularly)
• Learn to play the drums on Rockband 2 on expert (This one might take some time, may carry in to 2010)
• Read my Daily Walk Bible (you guessed it, daily. With the intention of reading the whole thing this year)
• Lose weight, get more fit (why not?)

And the most genius resolution yet, the one that will help me fit all the above into my busy working dad schedule is: (this one deserves its own list)

• Wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 AM every day 
  

Now I know what your thinking. I know it sounds crazy to get up that early and start doing anything! But I have tried it for this past week, and its GREAT! I get up and start doing a P90X video and I am ready for the day! Once I even had time to read Genesis 10-12. I think I'm on to something big this year. I know great things are coming my way. I'll keep you posted on my progress through the year.  So far we have done a great job organizing the house, and putting the mail in this new mail holder thing we bought. We also bought some overhead shelving for the garage which I plan to hang this Saturday around 6:45 or 7:00 am. Either before or after I reorganize the garage, wash my car, and trim the hedges. All before lunch or so. I have the extra time thanks to my early bird schedule.

Anyways thanks for reading our blog, I would enjoy some comments on my resolutions or anything else I wrote. 

This blogging thing is pretty fun. I may have to setup the mobile blogger thingy on my blackberry...

Random Allie Moments

I want to share a few pictures of my daughter with you.. I think she is adorable.. beautiful... and just brings so much warmth to my heart.

Children are a blessing from God.

Getting the room ready

As you all know... Adam and I decided to wait to find out what we were having. We found it exciting waiting to see the surprise God had blessed us with. In all honesty, I think it was harder for our friends in family than it was for us. The only times we had a difficult time was when trying to pick a theme for the nursery and picking out names.

The nursery was quite an overhaul asthetically speaking. Adam did a great job of remodeling it. He had some help from Able doing the finishing touches. He re-vamped the closet, textured the walls, and painted them a nice soothing green color. The theme of the nursery is a Teddy Bear theme. It could work for boy or girl. Here are a couple of before after pictures...

I'll leave the story of her name for another posting... Till then

Take care.

Veronica
