2010 came in very peaceful, I was asleep at ten after 12...yes, I am a very boring person...we were at the children's hospital all day while James had a blood transfusion... we had our friends Dave and Briann over, and Briann is pregnant so we just ordered some pizza and hung out....we had the kids so we kept everything child friendly, Jennifer and Kiersten came over for fireworks that Doug set off at about 10'clock..yep, it was a very low key NYE!

The in laws gave me a Chapters gift card for Xmas, so I decided to purchase Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering The Art of French Cooking" and after watching Julie and Julia, which I do recommend watching, Meryl Streep does not disappoint...anyways, I suddenly have an interest in French cooking, and must say that while I was in Paris I could not afford to eat the real fancy stuff...but anyhoo..I think I will attempt to cook a Julia Child meal every Sunday... so call me if you want reservations at Chez Mosher!

James turned 2 months on the 26 and here is a few comparison pics...he is getting so big..

One Month

Two Months

Doug and Hallie go back to school this week and I will be glad to get back to my routine..THANK YOU JESUS...I need my routine...

So, for my resolutions..I have all the usual ones...lose weight and get into some sort of shape..preferably a shape that's not "round"...I really need to stress less and surround myself with positive people...I think I can do it...

Just watch me...

Take care
