Austins first Christmas and New Years

Austin ready for the new year!

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Austin here in Louisville. It was nice to be just the three of us but of course I missed the family in Canada. I think Austin's favorite part was licking all the wrapping paper. He screamed when we took it away from him. It was hilarious. For New Years we went over to our friends house to celebrate. We played games and just had a great time. Now it is time to make some New Years resolutions:
1. Make a new recipe every week
2. Get in shape again to run a half marathon
3. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover
4. Go to a movie (okay this sounds pathetic but it really is a goal)
5. Take Austin to Waterton for his first family rebellion
I find if I dont write things down then I wont get things accomplished. This is just a start....

Chelsea, I'm glad you want to see a movie in 2009. I hope you achieve your goal. If you need help let me know. I can do one of two things: 1) go with you 2) watch Austin while you go. I'm all about helping people out.
It was good to see you guys the other night. Let's hang out again soon.
