Super random sharings

We have been bird-sitting for the past two weeks. And we have loved it.
(But don't tell our friends, they think we are doing them a favor.) I don't think
any of  us realized how much we would like having birds.

My mom and dad gave us a Wii for Christmas. Thanks Grandma and Granddad! Unfortunately, none
 of us like it. Especially not Campbell. I mean, we have only spent six or seven hours a day playing it.
Ridiculous. I have been extremely lenient because it is Christmas vacation. Monday will be a sad day
in Cam's life. But he'll appreciate it when he is thirty or forty. In the meantime...not so much.

Several hours ago, I ran upstairs to put in my contacts. When I came down, Annie had
snuck outside to bring in the garbage cans to surprise me. That sweet girl. There she was
in her pajamas and flip flops (she might be related to me, it was twenty-six degrees)
pulling in our two, large garbage cans. Man, this girl is a sweet one.

Apparently Matt took the New Year to heart. Yesterday, while visiting some cousins, he spent a
good hour or so playing on their elliptical (with permission of course). He loved that thing. And
it definitely makes sense that the four-year old set a goal to lose weight. I mean really. I was a
little disappointed about his lack of motivation last year, but 2009 is a new and fresh start.

And I just had to put in this ridiculously cute picture of Ben. He has spent every waking
moment of the past eight days in the arms of his dad (Jacob has had work off since
 Christmas Day). When I went to take him out of his crib this morning, he looked at me
and smiled. Then said what he says every morning, "Dada?" Jacob had already left for work.
Poor Ben. Has to spend all day with his mom. And just when he thought he was past that.
