2010--Happy New Year!

Our traditional "Special Drinks" (half sprite, half orange juice, and a dash of cherry syrup)--one of the 3 times I drink carbonation during the year.
CHEERS!

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2010 already! It's such a weird date. Should we call it "twenty-ten" or "two-thousand ten" or just "ten?" We are back home now after a fun, relaxing 2 week visit at my family's house.

New things are happening already: Our ward meets at 8:30am this year, which will definitely take some getting used to. AND, I had a pleasant surprise at church-- this year I am assigned to teach the 6 year olds!!!! YEEEHAWWWW!!! It is amazing the difference 3 and a half years can make in participation and behavior. I love them already! I loved my 10 year olds too, but Sundays were a lot more stressful with that age group. It felt so nice to NOT be frazzled at the end of church.

As for Jay, he still hates baby food in a jar, so last night I gave him a raw broccoli tree. Don't worry, we were eating dinner and carefully supervising his grazing. It was hilarious! Along with the green whiskers, Jay was drooling in green!

An under-the-neck shot

The broccoli after about 15 minutes of gnawing. It may not look like Jay ingested much of it, but I just changed his diaper, and believe you me, he must have swallowed some after all!

I would just like to say that I appreciate your optimism about your new ward time. One hears so much whining this time of year, no matter what the person's new ward time is, and I appreciate that your only comment was that 8:30am would take some adjusting, instead of complaining about the early hour (which is indeed early...how many wards meet in your building??). Way to be!

Sounds like a yummy drink. I'll have to try it out.
