The new year has come and gone. We had a great Christmas together! A friend at work who has a 8 and a 10 yr old, was wanting to get rid of their Thomas the Train stuff.

Well, one night after work I went to check it out. The co-worker's sons were quite the salesmen. Come to find out, their father said that whatever was sold, he would give them a portion of the money. They were showing me each individual train, stating why I should have that certain one and if I said 'Yes' then they would tell me why the next train should go and not be parted with the last train! Needless to say, I got the good majority of "Thomas" stuff!



After our Christmas, we went to my mom and dad's house for New Year's celebration. We are enjoying a 'free' snow day together today. Louisville received about 2 inches of snow and most businesses and schools/daycares are closed today! Much different then New England! It would have to be a minimum of 6 inches to even think about considering the possibility.

We hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday period and wish you the best for 2009.
