New Year

We have been enjoying the New Year by being lazy . . . so nice! We think Bud pretty well sums up what we've been doing the last couple of days:
I think the flash woke him up . . . he doesn't look too happy : )We've been watching movies, running a few errands, and enjoying each other's company. I finished sewing a pair of pants for Emily this afternoon. My sister embroidered her initials on a t-shirt.
I learned how to gather fabric to make a ruffle at the bottom of the pants.
I am going to my first class tomorrow to learn about my sewing machine. When you buy a machine they give you three 2 hour classes to show you everything about it and tomorrow is FINALLY my first class. I'm looking forward to it!

We have discovered if you want Emily to eat something . . . just throw a little dab of ketchup on her plate and she'll eat whatever is in front of her. The other night she wouldn't eat the pork that was on her plate, so I gave her a little ketchup and she ate two whole slices of pork and all of her green beans! She dipped the green beans and ate them like french fries . . . crazy nut. Today she dipped her hotdog, goldfish, and yogurt covered pretzels in ketchup . . . . nice.

We hope you all are enjoying the beginning of your 2009!!!!
