Had a busy and exhausting weekend. Managed to fit a quick swim in on Saturday. D loves water, and I want to get him in the pool as much as possible. Me and Rog both grew up with 'water' holidays, so no doubt we will be doing the same with him.
Nothing else to report. I'm actually quite exhausted. Got lots to do. So might as well procrastinate for just a second with this quiz from Raylene's blog:
1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
Gave birth, cooked a roast chicken, met some online scrapping buddies
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Just checked the archives. Declutter the house - negative. Cut down on commitments - positive. Read lots of parenting books - ummm, getting there. Decrease obsession with scrapbooking - positive - to the point where I have lost my mojo. Get off the computer - ummmmm, negative. LOL.
I need to cement mine for this year. Probably more of the same.

Loving that little quiz - think I might steal it too, but maybe tomorrow, I've been updating enough to bore anyone lately!
Love your answers Tam. I might try it too, but like Nat... Tomorrow! I'm up too late as it is.
LOVE your family pics. That little man of yours does just get cuter by the day!
I'll miss you Sunday too, but had a great day anyway, and next time you just have to come... we'll do a Saturday.
