Happy New Year!!!




On Sunday evening my mom got out one of the puzzles that santa brought Justin. As she dumped the pieces out on the table she let out a loud shriek. Inside was a huge wolf spider. We think it may have bitten her. I am not sure what happened, but the picture below shows how she woke up on Monday.












Happy New Year to all! And a happy birthday to mom/grandma/spiderwoman. We finally finished up our Christmas season over the weekend with my mom & dad visiting. The boys had the 3rd & final round of presents. Everyone had a great time. On Friday we went to the Hurricanes game. It was a great game with a lot of action, a fight, and even a penalty shot (I had never seen one in a live game before). On Saturday we had another warm day and went to the science museum in Durham. On Saturday we had a rare cold and rainy day and just sat around and let the boys play all day. It was a fun weekend.
It is hard to beleive it has already been 1 year since we made our move. In some ways it feels like we have just moved here, in others, it feels like we have been here for years. Life is kind of weird like that. We are looking forward to a great 08 with continued adventures. We love being able to keep everyone updated on the Blog and will continue to due so.
Make it a great year and live it with no regrets!!!!
Until next time...

  1. Boy oh boy, that spider bite did do something to mom, gramma, spiderwoman, ever since she has been crawling all over me. hahahaha.....
    It was a wonderful time and a fun visit. We had a great time at the 'Canes game and really enjoyed the warm weather.......It is always enjoyable when we get to see the four of you.....
    We also are very glad to have the blog. It makes us feel like part of the experience and also allows us to watch the boys grow up...Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
    Hugs & Kisses, love Gramma & Grampa

  2. Happy New year to you all too! Very clever blog Shaun - I will let you all know if she makes herself a spiderman cake for her birthday and will continue to watch for suttle changes. I am glad you are still going to provide the blog, I really like it and look forward to new ones. I hope you gets lots of pictures back too. I could send pictures of Uncle Ken with his new TV and Guitar Hero game (post Christmas presents) - yes everyone we have another TV for sale!! Ken bought it so that I could watch the Rose Bowl parade on HDTV!! Ha HA. Lindsay goes home today; we did not get the big snow accumulation that was predicted for today. Are wolf spiders poisonous or just scary looking?

    It looks like a great weekend with Mom and Dad/Gramma and Grampa. Just for the record though, on future visits we will NOT BE SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR! This past year has flown by. I feel like I still tell people that you all just moved. Great job and we are very proud of you guys for making a huge change such an enjoyable one. Keep up the good work in 08'.
    P.S. I don't know if this means anything or not, but I saw Mom eating flies when we stopped by yesterday...hmmm...

    It is very hard to believe that it has been a year already, Looks like you guys had another great visit. I said it before & I'll say it again I'm with Pat & will not be sleeping on the floor the next time we are able to come down for a visit. I'm glad the spider decided to wait & come out & say hello to Deb not me. The boys look so BIG, I love Owen's new do.
    Looking forward to "08", hope you guys a great one which I'm sure you will. Owen & Justin we got the pictures you made us in the mail, Mackenzie hung hers in her room & I am taking mine to put on my desk at work & of course we all know Uncle Pat saves everything. You guys are awesome at drawing & coloring. Thanks for thinking of us:)
