Yeah, I never get to blogging over the holidays. I have plenty of time to check all of your blogs (you special super organized people) but mine just sits until well after the New Year begins. But Happy New Year to you!!! We did set some goals, wanna hear? I thought so!!! These are the things we are most excited about this year:
10. We're going to get a concrete driveway this year. We are. We are (this one I'm still skeptically hoping for)
9. Aaron is going to organize his "shop" so that he doesn't take over the entire basement with his "hud."
8. Joseph is turning 10, Gideon 8, Malachi 3, and Samuel 7--ALL this year!
7. Aaron and I are going to go on a week-long trip without our children (thanks Carol--this one's ON the CALENDAR)
6. I'm going to get through my pile of mending completely at least once.
5. That half finished log cabin in the yard will actually be distinguishable as something by the end of the year. Perhaps even a barn.
4. My parents will come home before our fifth child is born.
3. My little sister will graduate from college (I know this one's out of my control, but hey, Mags, we're rootin' for ya'!)
2. I will lose at least 20--hopefully 40 pounds this year!!
1. We're going to have a baby in April. NOT July!! This should help a little with the weight loss :-)
Happy New Year to all of You. Don't you LOVE our super ambitious goals??? Thought so. We had a great Christmas--saw some of you, heard from others--thought of the other others!!! Someday I'll send a Christmas card. Not this year, though. It didn't make the list.

I love the goals! #9 sounds like it came straight from Aaron's mouth "hud". And if your baby is another 9 pounder you know you will lose at least that much in April alone. Awesome!
so organized and loads of great things...I am just trying to mak to having the fifth kids, oh and losing the 30-40 lbs!
I like how your kids' birthdays are part of your goals. I'm going to add that one to my list.
Hey Aneesa, the shirts were a gift from Jason's sister. If I remeber right she said she got them at Target. I think they are super fun!
Aneesa, I keep checking my e-mail in anticipation of a message longer than Aaron's thesis... but nothing. Did you already send it and I just didn't get it, or should I just be patient?
Also, thanks for the books. I'm going to write proper thank-you notes any second now, but I've already started reading both of them. I am planning to breastfeed, and I'm sure I'll have questions along the way.
