"Kids' New Year" was at 9pm.
The kids had fun drinking sparkling Welch's grape juice and making noise. They went to bed and then my mom and I watched a movie (I slept a little on the couch) and then we watched the ball drop with Dick Clark. Sweet Dan called from the hospital right before midnight so that we could count down to the New Year together. He took some party favors with him for the other residents. If you have to work on a holiday, you should make it fun, right?So far our new year has been good and uneventful.
- Elena's preschool started back up yesterday and I am teaching this month. She is constantly carrying around her new doll and baby doll. She's such a good little mama.
- Kevin loves all of his new gifts and takes turns throughout the day playing with cars, trains, a magnifying glass, and new bath toys. Dan and I are both amazed at how old he seems all of a sudden.
- Baby boy is healthy and moving around like crazy, but still nameless. I have a short list, but I don't feel passionate about any of them. Dan, meanwhile, seems to dislike every boy's name in the world. :) It'll be interesting to see what we come up with and how last minute it is.
- Dan is working hard and trying to spend as much time with E and K as he can. I think that this Sat/Sun are the last days he has off between now and February, so we'll have to make the most of it.
- Now that January has begun, I am feeling much more relaxed in general, but I will be busy soon looking for a great place to live with a fantastic school for Elena and rent in our budget. A neighborhood pool would be a big bonus. That shouldn't be too hard, right? :)

hahaha. I read your blog. So who are the 4 others. ;)
Boy names are harder then girl names....gotta be manly, not make-fun-of material, but you have to like them. And if you're me, at least ONE of the names have to mean something. Girls, you just go for pretty and who cares if it sounds right, she'll change her last name when she gets married anyway. :)
Maybe I can help with boy names.
Enrique, Manuel, Pasqual, Luis, Domingo, Juan, Lehandro, Saturnino, Carlos, Felipe, Fernando, Geraldo, Ignacio, Ismael, Tomas, Vicente, Aar'on Xavier, Ricardo, Pablo, Miguel, Lorencio, Julio, Reyes, Patricio, Ricardo, Adolpho, Rau'l, Ramon, Pancho, Miguel, Martin, Ramo'n
Con mucho amor, Los abuelos
I'm laughing that you are having trouble with boys names AGAIN. I like Matteo, and Manuel, and Oskar. Can't wait to hear how down to the wire this one comes.
