New Year's Eve

It's 19F (about -7C) this early morning...and went up to 27F (-2C) by this afternoon..brrrr..freezing but ot's very sunny and dry, here in Western Washington,..well the last day of 2010. Thank you God, you gave many blessings to our family,..and counting in 2011. We usually doing 'staycation' on New Year's Eve, simply because the temperature is getting lower and lower and most important, my hubby got only 31st, 1st and 2nd off days because this time January 2nd, 2011 it's Sunday. We got invitation (just last night) to celebrate NY's Eve in my brother in-law with his Phillippino wife. I don't mind eventhough I planned to cook something special just for the tree of us. We're excited and happy for their new house that they bought just December last year.

Grace still have no clue about 'time' , 'day', 'year' but I kept telling her about the situation arround, I think we don't have to wait until she understand to tell her alot of things, I already started since the first moment I held her in my arms after I gave birth. I learned about this that it's good to have 'conversation' with your baby/toddler even before she/he can speak. Seeing my daughter growing through the year of 2010 it's really amazing...and her healthiness make me grateful everyday.

As for myself, my milestone as a mom reachs to 2 years and 4 months on January 1st, 2011. I hope and pray to be a better mom, ...and wife!,...be more 'smart' doing grocery shopping, household management, and as New Year's resolutions are just arround the corner, in term of my 'shape'...which I already started way before, balancing my extra pounds and calories by doing exercise at least 20 minutes everyday. I will dig more favorite healthy recipes and hopefully MPG (My Personal Goals)..will run smoothly. God Bless and Happy New Year 2011.
