Happy New Year!

I really hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and vacation. We've really enjoyed the last few weeks, all being on "vacation." There have been lots of presents, cookies and family visits which have all been very fun. I had grandiose plans for the week between Christmas & New Year's, but really just enjoyed hanging out at home with the kids and spending a little time organizing, unpacking and playing.

As we brought in the New Year, (on our very comfy couch, in our new family room), I think Jon and I both felt immensely grateful for the year and our family. We both have visions of a healthier lifestyle for 2010. We moved in a new elliptical machine that is already getting very good use. The sweets are the next thing to get moved out!

All in all, it is a reflective time and I am happy for it. Today is a day where I think of the great role models that I have had in life.
