The Start of a New Era

It's the first day of a new year and what better way to start it off than with a fancy way for everyone to keep up with what the kids are doing in P-Town. (Big thanks to Annie for being so progressive to already have an active blog site for Ella and Luke) With the holidays winding to a close, hopefully we can get some sense of normalcy going and get a routine established and everyone can hear about the boring day to day stuff.

Tommy & Dunkin on the car ride to Ohio

So far life has been anything but boring. Tommy has gotten to do a lot of things. On top of the whole being born deal, he has had his first trip to Ohio to visit the family, his first Christmas, his first hotel stay (with the puppies), & his first New Year's Eve party. And I must say he fared much better than Dunkin and Gracie who were a bit freaked out by all the yelling and fun festivities. (You'd think they'd be used to it after 5 years of OSU football games!) Once Tommy decided he wanted to go to sleep he slumbered for four hours even with all the craziness going on below.

For his first Christmas he got tons of stuff. Lots of clothes, a blankey, and some $$ for college. With all that loot we were pretty well packed for the return trip. It only makes sense that when the puppies came into our life, we had to buy a bigger better vehicle...enter the Jeep...that now we need to buy an even bigger vehicle so we can make the return trip comfortably. Sounds like some shopping coming up later this year. Stay tuned for the outcome.
