It's been about a month since the New Year and I'm just finally getting around to blogging about it! Most of our friends had fun plans to do things on NYE but being parents of 2 small children our options are pretty limited and not so rowdy ;) We did get a chance to have one of our fave couples come down and celebrate with us and see the new place. We decided to do finger food/hors d'ouvres and sparkling juice of course. :) We pretty much just hung out and played games with Tristan. Lucy went to sleep at her normal time but we thought that we would try to keep Duder up til midnight... bad idea and didn't work. Unfortunately Gaetan was really sick so he just slept pretty much the entire day. The adults barely made it to midnight and then after it hit we were wide awake for a few more hours... figures :) I had a lot of fun just hanging out and relaxing with them. I'm glad that they are into doing the same type things and can find enjoyment in company and not having to be doing something.
We did watch Kung Fu Panda 2... which was horribly sad for me! I will most likely never watch it again... go figure, a children's movie that is too sensitive for me. I'm trying to get better about these things but I figure there are a lot of things that I don't need to watch, or need to be exposing myself to.
New Year's Day was just relaxing as well. Of course, the kids don't care if you go to bed when they do or if you go to bed 2 hours before they get up. Once they're up, they're up, and so are you. The weather was starting to get pretty nasty so Quebra and Dizzy went home before lunch. It was a long drive for them to come and stay with us, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and we are always so excited to have them around. There aren't a lot of people that we want to expose our kids to, but they are so good with Tristan. Lucy, well, she doesn't play a whole lot quite yet, but when she does I'm sure they will be great playmates with her too :)
I did say that I was going to try and run 14 miles that day... and well, I was pretty happy with my 13.1. I can't believe that i pretty much just picked up and ran a half marathon, but I felt really good afterwards. I could even walk (a little) haha. My muscles weren't too sore the next day which was encouraging. The whole thing was encouraging because I wasn't really sure if I was going to be able to do the marathon, or run on a treadmill for that long. But there are TV's on the treadmills so I always hope there is something good on TV to watch. There is always some sort of cooking show on at least... I think it's a bit teasing to watch a bunch of yummy food being made while I'm running, but it's all good :)
So, here's to 2012. May it bring all the changes and improvements people are hoping for. I am really trying to focus on making a difference. Even if it's just in the day to day things that I do with my children, I know that I'm investing something important.
