New Year

This will be our fifth New Year's Day in Kansas since moving here in 2005. A little retrospective...


On January 1, 2006, we took our little Squash (then 2.5) on a hike at Shawnee Mission Park. Weather was fantastic:



January 1, 2007, we had a three-week-old baby Noodle, so we stayed in and watched the Eagles game:




We actually rang in January 1, 2008, on a shuttle bus at the airport. Our flight home from California arrived reeeeally late on December 31, and I remember listening to the countdown, exhausted, while lugging the two kids and all our stuff back to the car. The next day is a little bit of a blur, but I took this picture of Squash (4.5) and Noodle (1) in the basement on 1-1-08:



And last year, January 1, 2009, we let our little chefs (5.5 and 2) make their own pizzas for a special New Year's lunch, after Squash stayed up for the first time the night before until midnight (actually, 12:37, but who's counting?). We were one sleepy crew that day:




This year...?? Pictures to come. This much we know - it will be our last New Year's as a family of four!
