New Years Eve

My mom has come out to Albany! She arrived on Dec. 29, the baby's due date and we've loved every second having her here! She's made, I think, 100% of all the meal's we've had (if you don't include pouring ourselves cereal for breakfast), she's cleaned my house so beautifully a number of times and definitely provided great company. It's so been so wonderful to have her here to help get things ready for the baby! She and I have worked very hard to get the house in order for the baby and to rearrange the house since Duane and I have moved into the attic (there has been lots of moving things around)! (More on the attic in the next post)


As we were driving in the car running errands on New Years Eve during the day, Duane mentioned going to the movies. My mom said, "That's a great idea! You and Angie should go on a date together tonight!" and she continued the rest of the afternoon telling us how she was going to take care of and put the boys to bed so we could go out. That evening just after she made everyone dinner, she pushed us out the door as she sat on the couch with the boys reading them books before bedtime. She is so great! What an example of a mother to try to live up to!

My mom got a couple shots of us before we left for the night.

Duane and I saw half of Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows till the audio went poopy then we went to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol to finish the night.

The movie got out at 3 minutes to midnight so we didn't miss our New Years Kiss :-)
