New Years

We spent New Years at Andre's parents house this year. Every year, they have a pretty big party and invite a whole bunch of people. I think they invited 40 something this year and 37 showed up so there was a lot of people. We played games and someone brought Rock Band which was a big hit. Those same people brought a game called "bang" that looked like a lot of fun, although I never actually played it. There was a lot of food! At midnight, we celebrated with a firework show. Sheila told Andre the show could only last 5 minutes. It actually only lasted about three before Sheila told him it was enough. During that three minutes, he set of 42 mortars and who knows how many other fireworks. It was pretty intense. Archimedes went to bed at 8 for about 15 minutes and was awake the rest of the night until 1145 when he finally fell asleep in my arms, only to be woken up by the fireworks 15 minutes later. It was pretty funny, he kept trying to sit up in his sleep. I finally got up and went to a window where we could see them. He loved them. He is definitely his father's child.

I'm excited to start off this new year. This last year we saw some HUGE changes in our lives and I know this next year will be the same. It's crazy, right now, we don't even know where we will be living by this time next year. Andre will start his student teaching in the fall and we don't really get to pick where they send us for that. We told them three places where we would like to go, so we'll see where we actually get put. This year will be full of surprises, that's for sure. The thing I am most excited for is our new baby girl that will be here in May :)
