happy new year!!

yet again year flown by and i'm even shocked that i have not posted in half a year! shame on me and shame on time for passing so quickly!!

let's see if i can sum up the second half of 2010 for you...

august

my mom came and stayed with us for a month or so to help us out because august/september is both jason and i's busiest months at work, so it was wonderful to have mom here with us. we tried getting her to make it a permanent gig, but no such luck! ha...kidding! thanks ma!!

september

we celebrated jason's birthday with dinner at striphouse early in the month and then went to charleston the weekend of the 24th for our friends molly and craig's wedding. it was a beautiful affair and 10 of us rented a house right on the water, so we had a great time! thank you yie yie and ni ni for watching the kiddos so we could enjoy an adult only affair! :)

october

mom came back again mid-month since jason and i were gearing up for our big trip to hong kong and bali for 11 days at the end of the month. ingrid and darren were married october 23rd in hong kong and then eight of us (four couples, including the newlyweds) went to bali for five nights and had an incredible time.

we came back the night of halloween, so no costumes this year, only pj's. (thanks ni ni!)

november

it took us some time to get back into the swing of things, mom left and then we were tasked with finding a new nanny. fortunately it didn't take long and we are thrilled to have mandy with us now. zach and zoe really like her, which is most important.

we had a nice thanksgiving in houston with jason's family and started gearing up for the holidays.

the babies also participated in their first official race...a full 25m!! :)

december

i had a nice low key birthday, molly's annual cookie exchange, dawn came in town for a visit, jason went on his annual hunting trip and then we headed to vegas for a week for the holidays (mom lives there, so yes, valid reason!). oh...and i mustn't forget our first visit with santa claus! (or ta ta as the kids refer to him). we were home just in time for new year's eve and had a nice evening with jason's sister jennifer and her husband jimbo.

happy new year!! hope 2011 is a year full of love, laughter and joy!!
