New Year

I didn't do a very good job last year of keeping this up-to-date. So, we will endeavor to do better this year!

School starts for the new year in 7 ½ hours. I should be getting to bed soon.

Here are some goals for this new year, 2009:
- Have a stress free school year
- Keep our activities to a minimum (the extra activities not school activities)
- Purge unused items in the house
- Clean out the garage (again)
- Lay tile in the laundry room
- Lay tile in the master bathroom
- Remove the carpet from living room and hallway replace with some type of wood flooring
- Replace the downstairs windows
- Add a deck to the back of the house (wishful thinking but it can’t hurt)
- Take a family vacation (Legoland Chicago? American Girl Chicago? See a theme here?)

Here is what we accomplished in 2008:
- Angelique graduated
- Refinanced the house
- Termite contract (the neighbor had termites eating his house)
- Fixed all three cars (tires on all three and a/c on van)
- New windows upstairs
- Back door fixed
- Cleaned out garage
- Fixed Twizzler’s leg (story for another time)
- New dryer
- Digital Thermostat
- Dryer Vent Man cleaned out the verrrryyy loooonnngg vent pipe
- Laura and I attended an awesome homeschool convention in Cincinnati
- I'm sure many other things that I am forgetting this late at night.

I hope everyone has a productive new year. We are going to try to have one!
