1. Staying dry. Yep, Josh is getting pretty good at staying dry. He even tells me now and then when he needs to pee. He still likes to hold in the bms till I put a diaper on him at bedtime- but once in a while he breaks down for that one too. Horrah for "big boy pants" stayin clean and dry.

2. Rotisserie chickens at Costco. I pick one of these up every time I go and get 3-4 meals out of them! Sandwiches, soups, casserols, fajitas, etc... Jake HATES dry chicken- but these are moist and easy to pick apart and throw in just about anything.

3. Snow shovel. I think we'd be snowed in right now if it weren't for this- AND it was my form of exercise for the day!

Well, I guess its time to break down and commit to a few resolutions/goals for the new year. I've compiled a short list in my head- but I know that if I actually write them down I'll be more committed- so here goes:

- Keep up with the Relief Society lessons even though I go to young womens every Sunday.

- Keep up with the Sunday school lessons.

- Continue Family scripture study with Josh and more structured FHE lessons aimed toward him.

- Go on an international or tropical vacation just Jake and I.

- Have "learning time" with Josh each weekday.

- Wean Dekker by end of February

- Recommit to a workout routine (can alternate yoga, bicycling, weights, etc)

- Read at least 6 books (not to include scriptures or other church materials)

- Go to temple at least twice a month

- Plant and harvest at least 4 fruits/vegetables this year as well as herbs.
