We've been trying a bunch of new recipes lately in an attempt to have family sit-down dinners and to eat healthier, especially now that I'm back on Weight Watchers, and have found some really good ones.

Kids say the darndest things
So this morning I was getting our breakfast together in the kitchen and Josh was in the living room looking at his DVDs, or so I thought. When I walked in the room he was looking through the new Victoria's Secret catalog (that Scott had left on the couch last night). He had stopped on a full-page picture of a woman's butt in a thong that was covered in sand.
His exact words to me:
"Mommy look, sprinkles on the bum. That's silly"
He cracks me up sometimes!!!

Hop up, jump in
My first attempt at posting a video of Josh... here he is dancing to the Handy Manny theme.
Thank you Cioci Paula for the musical toolbox, he loves it!

Good riddance!!!
"Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne!"
For anyone reading this that doesn't know, "auld lang syne" means (roughly) "times gone by".
So I say good riddance to 2009! I'm not reflecting on the year because it sucked for me... sure, there were some good times in there but it will forever be the year of my diagnosis. The year my whole life changed, and not for the better.
So now I look towards 2010 and hope that this is a better year for me.
I hope to get my health under control. The exhaustion is taking its toll on me and I hope with supplements and a better diet that I can start feeling better.
I hope to lose some weight. I'm starting Weight Watchers again tomorrow and will be working out on my Wii Fit as much as I can to drop 10-15 pounds. I ordered my bridesmaid dress one size smaller than I am now... how's that for motivation?!?!?!?
I look forward to my brother-in-law's wedding in April and to gaining an awesome sister-in-law who I already consider as part of our family. I also look forward to our trip to Disney right after their wedding.
I look forward to going to more concerts and seeing the Dave Matthews Band multiple times.
I look forward to watching Josh continue to grow and learn and make us laugh every day.
Finally, I hope that Scott continues to do well in his job (and I in my job) and will be watching anxiously for an opportunity for him to open up in South Florida so we can (hopefully) make our final move and be settled for a long time.
So here's to a great year, and a great decade. I have high expectations... don't let me down!

Christmas 2009
We spent Christmas this year with my family in the Syracuse/Utica area and had a fantastic time. Josh is almost 3 and at a great age to understand the holiday and make it fun for everyone. Being an only child (and only grandchild on my side) he was spoiled rotten!!! His favorite presents are his train table, giant bounce house, and Scooby Doo van. He also got a few Handy Manny toys, Cars toys, and a Hess helicopter and truck which he plays with often.
Christmas was good for Scott and I as well... I FINALLY got my new camera, I dragged Scott into the 21st century and bought him an iPod, and we collectively got a Wii.
I'm pretty sure that everyone that reads this blog is on Facebook but here are a few pictures anyway:
