It's a new year!

I had to work New Years Eve this year, but Mike and Lilly had a fun night, they celebrated along with pre-recorded Australia :) So Lilly was in bed by 9:00. :) They had apple cider in fancy cups and I made them carmel popcorn before I left for work that night. I am excited for the New Year, hopefully great things will happen this year. One really cool thing that happens in January is Lilly's birthday! I can't believe she is going to be three years old in less than a week. She is getting so grown up and is such a darling, funny, beautiful little girl.

We are starting out the New Year healthy and happy. Mike is excited to continue with his schooling he should be done in the summer of 2010! So only a year and half left to be the oldest college student on campus (just kidding). I am so happy that Mike is doing what he loves, he is using the great gift that he has been given and that is just awesome. Not many people get to pursue their dream career, and have it come so naturally to them. I meantioned a few posts back that Mike's latest artwork was displayed in the student gallery. The professor chose ALL of Mike's submitted pieces (4) and each professor can only choose 6 from each class!

Here is Lilly standing under three of the four of Mike's works displayed at the student gallery and the other is Lilly helping Mike find where his artwork was displayed. It was only a few days after his surgery so Lilly got to help him. I am so proud of Mike! The three that belong to Mike are starting from the red one over to the white backed one. I didn't take a good picture of the fourth piece, I'll have to talk Mike into posting quality photo's of his current pieces :) so that you can see them all.

Lilly is still really loving all of her new Christmas presents she especially likes the Drs kit, though. Mike and Lilly took down all of the Christmas decorations one night while I was at work. Mike snapped this adorable picture of Lilly treating our snowman.

My best wishes to all for 2009!
