Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013.

It's bittersweet to say farewell to 2012 because it has been such a great year for our family... I got my MBA, we found our way back to NYC, our little boy started school and continues to amaze us every day, we learned that we have another little one on the way and then we found out that that little one is a girl!  These are just a few of the many memories from 2012 - we really have been blessed this past year and are so thankful for everything. 

Unfortunately, 2013 did not start out exactly as we would have hoped.  We planned a very low key New Year's Eve celebration with dinner reservations at the super-hip time of 5:30 pm at the Greek restaurant Kefi.  Dinner was just okay, but my dates were very handsome and well behaved, except one of them smeared Tzatziki in his hair, perhaps mistaking it for a deep hair conditioner.  Afterwards, we grabbed some Starbucks on the way home, ending our evening promptly at 7 pm so that we could get little mister to bed. 


That should have been our entire evening except that poor Olin woke up sick, somewhat ironically, at about 11:57 pm.  So as the ball dropped in Times Square, the poor little thing was vomiting and continued to do so well into the wee hours of the morning.  He finally fell asleep around 3:30 am getting up every hour or so after that until he was up for good around 6:30 am.  Josh being the wonderful husband that he is did the bulk of the work last night and got up with Olin so that I could keep sleeping this morning.

Today our little guy has been running a bit of a fever and doesn't have much of an appetite, but the vomiting has stopped and he has drank a fair amount of fluids so hopefully he is on the mend.  We think that it is perhaps just a bit of a stomach bug or some bad food and hope that it is short lived so that we can get on with the new year!

Hopefully everyone else's 2013 started out better than Olin's!  Happy New Year everyone!
