Happy Belated New Year

Yes, I know I'm a little with this post. I had all the intentions in the world to update this site while I was on vacation ALL of last week, but things just didn't quite work out. In fact my week and a half off of work wasn't all too relaxing. I guess that's just how it is when you live 300 miles from family and you have to visit everyone in a week.

So our trip started out pretty well. We got up at 3:30 A.M. (NO, I am not lying!) We were on the road at 4:07. It was a long trip, especially being half asleep. We made it to Pat's house by 10:30. Sydney is such a great traveler. No problems during the trip at all.

Our visit at Pat's was awesome! Unfortunately it was cut a little short when I had to leave early to meet my Gram at the hospital. She spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights in the hospital. Definitely not fun. But she's OK now. Luckily it was nothing serious. On New Year's Eve we headed to Jason's parent's house. Sydney had a great time hanging out with her cousins....all 5 of them! Yes, she was a little overwhelmed, but had a blast!

So overall, our New Year's was pretty quiet. Just hung out at the in-law's house and went to bed shortly after midnight. Sydney was asleep by 7:00 (what a party animal).

The trip back to MD was great. There was hardly an traffic and as always, Sydney was so good. In fact on the way back, she was belting out some tunes with Dad. My intentions were to rest up on Sunday before going back to work, but it didn't work out exactly how I planned. Turned out I got terribly sick. I spent the entire day in bed. So I did rest up, but not quite what I intended.

So let's do a quick recap of 2008...

In January we moved back to NY (from MD)
In February we remodeled our kitchen
In March Sydney was born (and our world as we knew it was over)
April and May were a blur
In June I celebrated my 30th birthday
In July we sold our house in NY (along with my beautiful kitchen)
In August Jason moved back to MD
In September we bought a house in MD
We spent most of October unpacking
Sydney got baptized in November
And December was all about Sydney's first Christmas

So here's to an action packed year full of many awesome memories. Let's see what 2009 has in store for us....maybe baby #2 :)
