1/05/08 - Christmas photos are up...see, we're not that far behind anymore!
1/30/08 - December is finally finished - just a month late! It's not Mom's addiction to Facebook & MySpace & Twitter that are delaying the pages, is it? Could be. Any rare computer time seems to be spent keeping in touch with friends and updating the blog. Perhaps our New Year's Resolution should be not to let this site go dormant like Dad's BMXTRIX.com site!
Home News: 'Tis the year to replace all the original "stuff" in the house that is in disrepair. New living room furniture should arrive shortly, new dishes are in the cabinet, new kitchen chairs are in place, and, of course, we're integrating all our Christmas bounty into the house. The Roomba purrs away as she vacuums the floors, the rope ladder should be up in the playroom soon, and the Wii is being enjoyed by all...at least, when the sensor works!
Lucas' Current Stats: Height: 29 inches (as of January 11, 2008) Weight: 23 pounds, 6 ounces (as of January 11, 2008) Sizes: 18 months clothes/18-24 month shoe
