2009?

Resolution 1 - revive Alice's blog and update it more than once every two years.

Apologies to any family and friends who thought I might have gotten it together to post some photos/video/cute stories/etc about Alice some time during the last two years. I meant to. But the blog stops dead in Dec 2006, when my maternity leave was over. In August (2008!) Kenny and I landed in New Haven, where I am gloriously unemployed. Plenty of time to do things like update this page and attend to my other resolutions too - stop hitting things with the car, stop talking to myself when I'm doing dishes, send thank you notes in a timely manner and floss.

Ill add some photos next, but I will NOT try to cover he whole missing two years. That will have to be filled in gradually. I will just pick up as if I wrote here every few days for the past two plus years. Starting now

After a week in Lacey WA with the cousins (and a quick overnight to see the Pashkowski-Martins in Wenatchee) we had an uneventful new year's eve at home, glad not to have to go anywhere in the snow and cold. Kenny and I met on New Year's Eve 10 years ago at the legendary Kastnelson NYE bash in Boston. Alla and Dima - thank you! Alice seems to have potty-trained herself - more or less - in Washington so we had an exciting new year's day trip to Target to buy theDora potty, Dora pull-ups and Princess undies (there were no Dora undies). Then we had Pizza at Pepe's - a perfect Dora Day for Boots and Diego and Dora.
