My mom came to visit for a few days, which was really fun! For the scrapbookers who read this blog, she gave me the greatest little scrapbook about me and her thoughts about my life and the joys and stresses that entailed. It was really a sweet gift, and I cried -- not just at the picture of my clothes and hair circa 1990.
Here's James waiting for Grandma.
Blake has still been sick with his sinus infection, so it is a good thing we decided against our original big New Year's plans! Instead, we had junk food, party hats and noisemakers here. Mom thought she would just have James here, so she brought Elmo plates and napkins for the occasion. After James went to bed, the adults played Phase 10. Very fun, but we are old wimps now and got very tired. We were all relieved when Blake won the game at about 10pm, so we could all go to bed.
Some of us had more fun with the noisemakers than others. 
I've been doing a little scrapbooking. I updated my list of goals for 2007 to reflect how I did on them (not great, but not too bad, either). Then I did a page of goals for 2008, and a page of some accomplishments from 2007. I'll try to post the 2008 goals tomorrow, to keep myself honest!
Now that Mom has gone home, there is no excuse not to take down the Christmas decorations, so I've been working on that. I'm about 2/3 done. I'll finish tomorrow.
Fianlly, here's a picture of James learning to ride his new tricycle. It would help if his feet could reach the pedals better.
