Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to All! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday. The Garrett's had a wonderful holiday. We all had a couple of weeks off and enjoyed each others company although I could tell Christian was getting a little bored with his list of chores or as he says "honey dos". He did paint a couple of rooms for me, help clean and watch Belly in between surfing the net for engine parts and playing with his new toy (a Chevrolet Blazer) that he has totally dismantled and will start rebuilding the engine this week.
I, in addition to painting, hand scrubbed all the tile and grout in my house and cleaned out Roar's room-which is like cleaning out a good will store (never ending), rearranged furniture and just enjoyed my time off. I will be ending my job at Region IV Jan. 23 and beginning my student teaching Jan. 28. I am excited to start something new but sure will miss my friends at Reg. IV. I will teach for 12 weeks then be at home with my girls. Christian bought us a weeks stay at a Mexico resort for Christmas so we will be traveling to Mexico in addition to our trip back to Disney in Orlando. So much to look forward too, I know 2009 will be a great year. Lots of exciting times ahead.
Belly is talking up a storm, she speaks in sentences now and can dress AND undress herself, put her own shoes on and everything to her is "MINE" or "Me". That means back off, it's mine and "Me" means I'll do it myself, I do not need your help. She is very sassy but oh so adorable. She got a new kitchen from Santa and loves to cook and sing. She is such a blessing!
Roar got an overhead from Santa so all she does is give presentations and plays teacher everyday. I loaded up at the teacher supply store with charts and transparencies so she is set to teach. Standing at 5 ft. tall and 10 years old she is quite the giant but a very cute giant. With her long legs and sparkly eyes we are already having to intercept calls from boys. Poor daddy goes nutso when they call, I have to be the mediator so he doesn't bite the poor kids head off. Oh the drama of a 4th grade beauty queen (or so she thinks).
As for Glo, she has moved to Chicago to help out another family. She will be back to visit us in February. We sure miss her but we know that she is needed in Chicago and will do very well helping out another family.
I pray 2009 will be a great year for all. Please email us or keep us updated on your family. We would love to hear from everyone. I will post Holiday pics later this week. Happy New Year!
