HAPPY New Year!

Happy 2009! 2008 was a riot, but 2009 is going to be bigger and better! Crawling, walking, talking, solid poops. We are so excited!

We rung in the New Years in Clinton, MT with all of our good friends. It was perfect, Brian and Angela's house was able to accomodate four families - that is 8 adults, 4 kids and 4 dogs. Huge thanks to the Vibberts for opening their house to all of us. We had SO much fun!

We partied like crazy all weekend and even enjoyed some of the record setting snowfall.

I put all of the New Years photos into their own set on flickr. Luke took many of them. He is quite the photog for a 3 year old. No culling, no editing. I wanted you all to live the experience.

On Sunday, Ed Jr. showed off his brand new skill, clapping. Brian and Angela were there for the first big moment. Very exciting. That is how it goes, one minute you are trying to get him to clap and then suddenly after his nap, there he goes clap clap clapping away. Ed and I figured that if he was going to crawl, this would be the weekend he did it - you know to keep up with all of those kiddos. But no, no crawling, only rolling. He would roll across the world if we would just let him.
