Although I know we’re almost a week in at this point, but we’ve had a very busy time.

We were lucky to be able to get a Nintendo Wii for our family present to ourselves this year, and we and our friends had great fun trying to best each other at the sports game over New Years Eve, and finding out exactly how unfit we were. Now that I’ve been using the Wii as part of my exercise work out my age has progressed from 72 to 57! Although my husband is 32. I knew I was older than him but that’s ridiculous!

Anyway, I’ve also been geeky and have invested in Coppermine Photo Galleries, and installed that on the domain, so that I can actually get the Family Photo Album back up and have it be more secure. I’m also in the process of redoing the family blog and getting New Years letters typed up given I was unable to find the time to do our family newsletter for Christmas and actually send it out with cards.

I hope everyone has had a good New Year so far, and that 2007 continues to be a good one.

We’ve also had a very nice holiday season. We got to spend Yuletide together, and despite getting struck down by a hideous virus right as my brother-in-law and our nephew arrived from New York. The holidays themselves were fun and relatively sickness free, with a lot of family bonding on the in-law’s side, and my family’s side.

Christmas-time is still a bit strange from me because Florida is so unlike where I grew up climate wise and attitude wise and the holidays are when you really feel that most, but this year was a very nice time and I think I’m starting to feel more settled.
