Happy New Year....2013

 
Sadly to say, both Zoe and Nathaniel go back to school tomorrow. One thing both Zoe and Nathaniel have in common is they both love to sleep in. Starting again tomorrow they both have to get up relatively Early to start their school day. Lucky me...now I do not have to creep around in the dark trying to get ready for work as not to disturb their much treasured sleep time.

Zoe had a great holiday..she racked up on the gifts...a number of dolls, clothes,cute hair ribbons made by her cousin Avery and yes an electric guitar from her Aunt and Uncle Lisa and David and cousin Maddie. All I can say...when you least expect it....a friendly payback is in order. What Zoe has enjoyed the most is her Nabi (which is a child's version of an Ipad), you can download games and a number of other apps that are child friendly.  She takes it every where.

Zoe has started gymnastics again and dance resumes this week.  Sonja has also enrolled her in swim lessons again which starts back this week. She is becoming very active. I know she cannot wait until spring so she can play outside! She still enjoys watching TV and bugging her older brother.

Nathaniel also hauled in! He got a GPS maps for his car, a new baseball glove, clothes and a few gift cards. We still carry on the tradition my parents started which is to give him the Topps baseball card set, so he got the 2012 edition. He just tucks it away!

Nathaniel had two wrestling tournaments during the holidays.  In the two JV tournaments he took third place twice. His JV record is 12-4. He has had 10 pins and has been pinned only once. Next week he will be at his desired 132 pound weight class which should make him even more competitive.  He started at the 145 pound weight class although he was weighing 142.  Now he is down to 134, only needs to drop a few pounds (easier said then done).

We hope everyone had a nice holiday season.  If you are like us, we are ready for spring and the warmer weather. We are not too far away longer days and more sunlight and pitchers and catchers reporting for spring baseball..Can't wait!

We wish everyone a Happy New Year! May 2013 be the Best Year yet for you and your family!
