A new year

Hello and happy 2009. WE have been busy moving into a new place while all trying to recover from this nasty lingering cold. We are finally moved in, not unpacked but moved in. It was no fun moving during Christmas and moving all of our stuff. With Tony's tool & surfboard collection, my fabric collection and zillions of craft gear, a furniture business and baby, we had a lot of crap. We like out our new place. Lots of little people for Brayden to play with and a cute neighborhood. We have a nice landlord who actually lowered our rent because he liked us and wants us to stay and as an added bonus he will be a great referral source for my mortgage business. We are very lucky. Tony and I both hate renting but with the price he is charging us and our month of moving we are very unmotivated to house hunt. We still managed to squeeze in lots of celebrating and family fun this year. I did not put my advent calendar I slaved over last year to use or my 25 days of Christmas activities that accompanies it. Brayden will be able to enjoy it much more next year anyway. Brayden Christmas day playing in the rain at Grandpa & Grandma's

A brief visit with Santa at Quail Gardens. Can't say that I blame him. He was pretty creepy.
