Happy New Year!

Hello all:

We wanted to say Happy New Year to all! 2008 was such a wonderful year with the addition of our little bundle of love, we can't wait to see what 2009 holds for us.

Some updates:

1. Jack has 2 teeth on the bottom and has for a couple of months now, I've just forgotten to mention it.

2. Tucker is recovering wonderfully and we're hoping he'll be out of the ICU by the end of the week and back to the other floor where he has some more independence and Linda can stay in the room with him.

3. Matt and I are no longer chickens about going to Boston to walk around and take in the sites. We now know how to get to the Theater District, Chinatown, Downtown Crossing and the Boston Commons. I'm really excited about the Commons because my Grandmother and Mr. Bassitt took me there all the time when I was little to walk in the gardens, ride on the swan boat and feed the ducks. So now I can share that tradition with Jack when he gets older. I'm very happy about it.

4. Just a warning, there may be some video compliments of my niece floating around. She got some blackmail material of me lip syncing to Little Red Corvette on New Years and no I was not drunk. If she loves me, she'll put it in the vault for no one to ever see. (Right Moni.....right? Are you reading this? Have mercy on your Auntie Sharon, okay?)

5. Jack Attack is finally healthy, but the Doc thinks he's prone to ear infections, which apparently is a common thing until he outgrows it around the age of 3. Poor little guy. Otherwise, doing wonderfully.

Renee, Jess, Jeff and Josh all came up from VA for New Years and it was a blast. We all met up at the ol' homestead and had a wonderful meal, some laughs and of course, some lip syncing as only the Beauregard Beauties can do. I miss you guys every day and it was so much fun to get everyone together.

Here are some photos of Mr. Jack's previously mentioned hives at the later stages, believe me, it was MUCH worse at the beginning. Also, our attempted Christmas photo shoot. Just a word of advice from our son, he's wise beyond his 10 months: If it looks like a ball and smells like a ball, it must be thrown like a ball, not used as a prop in a photo shoot, Mommy.







Love to all! We wish a happy, healthy, successful new year to each and every one of you.
