Happy 2009

Happy New Year!
Wow, it's already 2009. David and I were able to enjoy a rare night out. The kids' cousin, Jessica, came and stayed with them while mom and dad went out to Duke's on the waterfront. Very nice. It reminds me of Hawaii.
Then, since it was cold and rainy, we opted for a movie. We were still home long before midnight, but it was great to have some adult time and the kid's love it when Jessica stays with them.
I've added a few pics of Sara playing basketball with our new basketball hoop. That was the kid's major present this year. (The dog loves it, too.) Sara loves it and hopefully Jacob will, too, once the weather warms up. He asked for and got his own basketball for Christmas so I think it's only a matter of some warmer days. Right now he'd rather stay inside and play with all of his toys. He asked when Summer will be here. He was disappointed to discover that we have just entered Winter!
It seems from the snow and ice we had that it's been around a lot longer than a week!
