Happy 2010!

Happy New Year! I hope 2010 brings everyone health, happiness and all good things. We rang in the new year with our now traditional "sitting on the couch, drinking wine and eating shrimp" festivities. This year Liam asked if he could stay awake "until noon" with us. We told him he could stay up as late as he could but the minute his eyes closed we were sending him off to bed. He did surprisingly well--at one point he looked over at Ken whose eyes were closed and he said "Daddy! You're falling asleep!" He wiggled and squirmed to stay awake (Liam, not Ken) and I put him to bed around 10:30 and I went to bed immediately after (hey-it was New Year's on the east coast so I felt justified). Liam said his favorite part of the evening was getting to sit on the couch and eat shrimp--that skinny little boy LOVES shrimp!
