Gung Hay Fat Choy!
(may prosperity be with you)

The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity

through fortitude and hard work. Those born under

the influence of the Ox or Buffalo are fortunate to be

stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant

person with strong character. Not many people could

equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox

exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people

work hard without complaints at work or at home. They

know that they will succeed through hard work and

sustained efforts, and do not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.

Yes, it's Chinese New Year.

Boone The Builder

Boone has been building this shed for

over a week in our backyard. We have

wanted to get all our tools, chemicals,

etc... out of the garage and into a central

safe location. Boone decided it would be

cheaper to build one from scratch than

to buy one that you put together. The

vote is still out on that but it is coming

together rather well. Abigail of course

thinks it's a house for her... I guess we

know what Daddy will be building next ;)

Purple Boxes

We bought these collapsing totes on
clearance at Target to help organize
toys...however Abigail has had other
ideas about how best to use them.


I wonder who is in the box?


Peek-a-boo


I think it must be Abigail.

Roar...

Deeelicious!

Abigail had hot chocolate for the first time a few

weeks ago and thought it was wonderful!

I just found out about this cool website.
This lady has created this website
with all sorts of free things, coupons, etc...
A great way to save money.

A visit to Grampy and Gramy's house

We drove to see my parents on Saturday
and came home on Tuesday. We had a
belated Christmas lunch and of course
a present or two was opened. We also
went to the aquarium. Abigail loved all
the fish. The weather was great the
whole time we were there, which was
wonderful.


Opening up presents.


Having a seat in the giant blue shell.


Pacific Grove from the car window. Abigail fell
asleep so we didn't stop.


Saying goodbye to Gramy


and Grampy.

Happy New Year!
