Hello, 2011!!

Is it really 2011?? Geesh, where did 2010 go? We have had the most wonderful time these past few days. We started off the 31st of December going swimming at the Anacortes pool with Maggie, my mom, brother and sister-in-law. Maggie still loves the water, as we haven’t been back to the pool since Hawaii.

We rang in the new year at Joe and Claire’s wedding (Congrats, Joe & Claire!!!) and it was so great. Barry looked dashingly handsome in his tux and we got to see so many of our very, very best friends. We stayed out super late – by our standards. I think we finally made it back home by 1 o’clock – and discovered that Maggie was fast asleep in my mom’s arms. (Thanks, Mama!!) My camera died so I don’t have a ton of photos….I do have some gems that I’ll post later this week. It truly was wonderful to see our friends.

We hopped on a ferry and came out to Lopez Island for a couple nights and now we’re all relaxing and contemplating this coming year. We went on some super long walks today and soaked up the sun….well, if you can soak up the sun through wool hats and down vests.

Happy New Year from HB to YOU from beautiful Lopez Island.

We went to visit Krista and Will earlier this week and had a spectacular time rolling around with them. Thomas and Will tie for world’s roundest cheeks, I love them.

If Thomas is a jolly baby, then Will is somewhat more serious and pensive. He seemed to be deep in thought about our arrival, eventually warming to the idea that we were there to play. By the time we left Will was talking up a storm. Maggie, however, didn’t miss a beat, once we sat down, with trying to take Will’s toys and poke his eye out.

I think my child is a rascal, but I love rascals so it’s okay with me.
