Happy New Year and I Hate Winter

Happy New Year. This is my first post in the New Year. I cannot believe that it is 2009. I am still trying to figure where 2008 went. The lack of posting is not caused by the complete laziness that follows the holidays but because our computer got some sort of Trojan Virus. Needless to say that our computer spent about 5 days with the Geeks from Geek Squad. Now it is as good as new.

We had an amazing time with friends at a cocktail party ringing in the New Year. Pictures posted below. Then My Mom, Aunt and Cousins came for a visit this past weekend. We had a blast eating, drinking, gossiping and playing with Hudson.

Now on to why I hate Winter. This only the second Winter that Hudson has been alive and both Winter Seasons he has been sick on and off. Yuck. I am so sick of him being sick. He is coughing all the time and we are pretty sure that he has another ear infection. He just had a cold and ear infection right before Christmas. I feel bad for the poor guy. I guess we are off to the Doctor tomorrow. It is sad when you are on a first name basis with the PA. What is amazing is that I have managed to stay healthy this year (knock on wood). I don't know if we could survive another winter like last year. Last year every time Hudson got sick, I got sick. We both had several colds, the stomach virus and the Flu. Double Yuck!
