We are off and running again. 2007 has started off great! We had a really good time at the Peay's home for New Years Eve.  Babysitters are hard to come by on New Years Eve so we all brought our kids this year and they had a ball. Both of our boys stayed up past midnight! We were hoping that they would sleep in the next morning but no such luck. We should have known better than to get our hopes up.  Greyson was so ready to go back to school and all of his activities. I have to admit I was ready too. Things were rolling along well until Daddy left for a business trip and we got iced in... It always seem to happen when I am alone with the boys for a few days! But is was not too bad this time. Thank Goodness! I met Neil up in NYC after his business was complete. We had a fabulous time! We saw 2 musicals and got to be in the audience of the Rachel Ray show. I just love her so it was really neat to see her show live. We should be on sometime this week. If you watch the show, then we are on 2 shows. One has Colby Donaldson and one has a lady who is a medium on. I think we will be on because we were smack dab in the middle of the set. I have on a chocolate courdoroy blazer with flowers on it.... Anyway- it was fun and Rachel is exactly whatt I pictured. She is very down to earth. We also shopped and ate a lot. My favorite meals were at Sara Beth's across from Central Park and Tao. Tao is the awesome Asian place that is very over the top in every way. It was a great place to people watch. It was REALLY cold there so we were always ducking in an out of places to warm up! We did take a carriage ride through Central Park and it was very neat but FREEZING! It did snow a little but not enough to stick on the streets. One of our favorite parts of the trip was seeing "Wicked" the musical. It was amazing. We agreed that it is the best show we have seen. We also saw "Phantom of the Opera" and it was great too. Neil had never seen Phantom so it was fun to experience it with him for the first time. The guy who played Phantom was really good and we had good seats. We got to spend a lot of time with Paige. We saw her office at the NFL. It was a crazy place because they are so close to the Superbowl and Pro-Bowl. She also chose a lot of neat places for us to meet her for dinner. We saw just about every area of New York which is neat. We did not eat in any touristy places so that was fun. We really enjoyed hanging out with her and seeing more about her NYC life. Neil and I decided that we have to bring Greyson next time we go up. There were so many things that he would really enjoy. Thankfully, my mom came and kept the boys for us this time. They would have been miserable in the cold.

 

Greyson has started acting classes throught the Frisco Children's Theater. He really likes them and seems to be very comfortable on the stage. We are also swimming again. Grant is still going to My Gym and is on the waitlist to get into the Mother's Day Out at our church. I do not think he will get in this year but he is very ready. He cries and wants to stay with Greyson's class when we drop Grey off in the mornings. Grant is really talking now. He is so funny. 18 months is a great age but he is really busy. We have to watch him at all times or he will be standing on top of the cabinets or climbing something, etc. He is still into playing with any kind of ball and has mastered his basketball goal that he got for Christmas. He loves Curious George and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He is so much fun!

 

Well, there is a run down of the highlights from the first few weeks of the year. The photos below are from New Years Eve and New York. Enjoy!
