Guten Morgan!!

Susan, sorry I'm the first one on today. The time difference has its advantage. haha
Well I've been reading the blog everyday to keep up to date on what's been going on with the family. I haven't written in a while, I really have nothing interesting to tell lately. Our New Year's was just ok, we didn't go out, but we did make a nice dinner.
Oh to answer your question Bern, here they pretty much celebrate New Year's the same except they have one tradition. At midnight when the clock chimes 12 times you have to eat a grape for every chime. We didn't do it because when we went to the store they had no more grapes left haha. But I'm glad your party went good!
Tricia- wow it sounds like your really busy lately between the boys and the classes. When Susan and I (and maybe Sarah!) come down there we should have a girlie day to watch movies and do facials and stuff like that to relax with Jenn and your Mom too!
Jenn- how are your piano lessons going? I've always been interested in taking up the piano, but I don't think I'm musically inclined, is it really hard?
Kritsty- You're my hero. I've never been a good runner, but I used to swim in high school. I've been wanting to start swimming again for a while now and reading how well you're doing running really inspires me! I'd love to be there to cheer you on at the Marathon.
Susan- I heart you!
Sarah- I miss you and I hope to see you very soon!
Mark- I hope all is well with you, sorry to hear about your car, that had to be so scary! See you soon!
Well I still don't have my tickets to come home, I am hoping that very soon I will be able to get them. I'm so excited to see everyone! Talk to you all soon!
