A New Year
Gisela
A new year is upon us. Time for new beginnings. A fresh start.

My first goal here...time to revamp my blog. It is so BLAH!!! So I'll be looking for a new layout. And I hope to post more frequently...ideally once a week!

As for an update here- our Christmas was great. The boys were blessed with lots of new toys, and my house seems to have gotten smaller. My personal goal for 2010 it to become better organized. Yes, I try every year, but this year I'm going gung ho...in fact I started last week! I've been clearing stuff out and throwing things away that I DO NOT NEED. Yes, I like to collect stuff. I'm not one of those crazy horders, but I do hold on to things I really don't need to. Like clothes from 2002 when I was student teaching and I will NEVER wear again. Off to Goodwill they go! Someone else can use them!

Anyway, Happy New Year to All!

My New Blog for the New Year
Gisela
No, I am not abandoning this blog. I am simply creating a new one. I don't make resoltutions for the new year, but this year I'm setting some ongoing goals for myself. One of those goals is to become a better photographer. And to help improve my photography I am embarking on an adventure called Project 365. You can learn more about it here.

So, starting tomorrow, and for every day in 2009 I will take and post at least one picture a day. (I may not post every single day, but take pictures daily and post weekly.) I hope that by the end of 2009 I will have improved my photography skills and also have some great pictures to reflect upon the year.

I hope that you enjoy my new blog. You can visit it at http://gisela-365.blogspot.com/.

Christmas & Years End
Gisela
Well, 2008 is coming to a close. I can't believe the year is over already. This time last year Ken and I were planning on adding to our family, and today we are a family of four. We have certainly been blessed with Erik, and I can't imagine him not being a part of our family. We've also enjoyed watching Nicholas grow throughout the year.

Christmas was very nice. Santa spoiled us all. Nicholas got more cars and trains than any 2 year old could imagine. Erik has some new toys, but it will be a bit before he really appreciates them. His new clothes came at the perfect time- he is now moving out of 0-3 months and into 3-6 months. (According to the pediatrician's scale he was 13 pounds 13 ounces on Monday.)

Tonight we will ring in the New Year with a few friends. A low key celebration, but it will be a nice end to this year, and a welcome to 2009.

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years 2009 from my family to yours!
