A New Year!

Sorry I haven't blogged since before Christmas but is was a busy holiday down to the last minute.  Yep my plan to stay ahead of Christmas totally went out the window, with me being at Wal-mart Christmas Eve at 4:00 in the morning to get last minute stocking stuffers and food for the Christmas Eve dinner I had planned before needing to be at work at 6:30!!!  It all came together and we had a great holiday with our family and friends.  After seeing our living room covered in toys, I do understand why my husband said I went overboard, but it was all for the kids!!! We'll see if I can be a little more modest next Christmas, but I doubt it!

To update on Rylie and Liam...Rylie is getting tall like her mama and we are checking into dance class this week for her.  Everyone tells us to start with ballet, but Rylie loves to shake it so to speak and I could see her in ballet class shaking her hips from side to side when the teacher wasn't looking.  So we are looking for a tap/jazz class for her.  Liam is almost 9 mo old and he has decided he is tired of crawling and wants to walk.  He now pulls himself up and tries to move from one thing to another without falling.  He is making me nervous for sure.  Liam has had some trouble with his ears and has been on a few different antibiotics to clear up ear infections.  We have a follow-up at Liam's 9 mo check-up and we might be sent to a specialist for ear tubes.  Crossing our fingers we don't have to go to that measure but we want him to be comfortable and don't want to risk his hearing with all the ear infections.

This year we have lots planned.  I am going back to school for my Bachelors degree, which I am wondering what I was thinking with two kids and a full time job but I'm determined to get through.  We are taking Rylie to Disneyland for her 4th birthday, we have lots of surprises in store for her.  It makes me feel like a kid again, all giddy and excited for her.  Bill might have to go back to Wisconsin again for 3 weeks of training if the radiology part of Epic gets moved up,which means 3 more weeks of me home with the kids and crazy dog alone.  I love my babies but our dog is about 150 lbs. he plays tug-a-war with me every time I try to get him outside.  I usually lose!!!  During one of the Wisconsin trips I plan to tag along so we can visit family and friends in Chicago!! I haven't been there before so I'm excited but I hope it's warmer when we go!!  Bill is also planning on going back to school for his Master's in the spring.  So with all of that we are also hoping to get our back yard done and finish decorating the house.

We hope everyone has a wonderful blessed and healthy New Year!!!
