Today was a tttiiirrreeerrreeeddd…day for everyone, late night celebration of the new year. The two of you were excited about our late night jaunt to the downtown celebration, but you were both weary this morning. Mommy and Daddy were too, as we stayed up even later and watched the New Your Philharmonic Orchestra perform Gershwin’s “West Side Story” and enjoyed a bottle of apple cider wine Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron gave us as a giftJ.
This morning as everyone slept in, Daddy tried to get a few things accomplished, then set about returning us to our Sunday Daddy breakfast traditionJ. After our scrambled eggs and sausage, and juice and coffee, we all got dressed and made a trip to the mall, which we had planned yesterday. Mommy found some bargains at Sears to make use of a gift card. We were all dragging, and the two of you, even though Daddy and Mommy treated you to a soft pretzel, were showing signs of being very tired. We had you out past your normal nap time, so we hurried home and all of us laid down for a long afternoon nap.
We were awakened by a visit from Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron, and we all visited and played, while Mommy made us our New Year’s dinner of cabbage and sausage and brown sugar (mmmmmm…it was goooood!). Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron wouldn’t stay for dinner, so after they left we ate our dinner and the two of you made a mess of a cookie monster dessert cookie Mommy got you at the mall.
Jude, you were a pistol right up to the time Mommy gave you and your sister a bath, and then settled you in for “night, night.” Emilia, you wouldn’t stay in bed after your bath, and as Mommy was preparing to leave to go work for a few hours, you started calling for Daddy and wanted back up. Daddy permitted you to get up and watch one more program while I did the blog entry for Mommy, and as I draw to a close on this cold, very windy Sunday night I look forward to getting another good night hug from our beautiful miracle baby girlJ
Mommy will understand when she gets home that Daddy has gone to bed and will stay awake until she gets safely home, but Daddy’s knee and back are hurting so very much that I can barely sit to complete this entry. It’s worth the effort, though, to keep the story of two very special, incredibly intelligent, remarkably beautiful babies moving forward into a new year.
Happy, Happy, Happy New Year to all our friends and family, and thank you all for the many, many blessings you bring to our lives! Sweet, sweet, sweet new year dreams baby boy and baby girl. You are each cherished beyond wordsJ.
