Happy New Year...

Doug & Angie before the stroke of midnight!

Addie and her gal-pal Fallyn cozy up for a quick pic at the condo!


Amy & Scott... 2007 will be a big year for these two who are expecting twins in April!

2006 was an amazing year. It was full of anticipation, excitement, fun, love and overwhelming joy! We have celebrated with friends and family throughout the year as our family grew and we all welcomed Addie into our family. We ended the year with one more big celebration in French Lick, Indiana. We traveled down with Julie, Mike, Gordie, Amber, Fallyn, Amy and Scott for a weekend of relaxation, gambling, movies, games and fun. Seeing the newly renovated French Lick Resort & Spa made me really happy for this tiny town. It was beboppin' and you could sense a rebirth from being there just one short year ago... it didn't even feel like the same place.

Addie had her first official sleepover. On New Years Eve we took her to spend the night at Great Grandma Tovey's in Bedford, Indiana. Nana and Grampy Newton joined the party for a night of tickles, giggles and dancing. Addie had so much fun... and I'm pretty sure her grandparents did too!

Doug and I enjoyed a night out with our friends. We ate at the hotel for a New Years Eve dinner. Afterwards we hit the casino to loss still more money and decided to try our luck at bowling instead. Needless to say this was a much safer bet for everyone! We celebrated bringing in 2007 at the stroke of midnight at the hotel before heading back to the condo for conversation and board games.

The next morning we got to sleep in for the first time since August 4th and it felt wonderful!!! But being the mom that I am, I couldn't wait to go see my little girl and headed to Grandma's. We had lunch in Bedford with all of my mom's family. Mark, Christy and the kids were all in town from Savannah, GA.

In a nutshell, our New Years weekend was a great end to a great year. 2007 has some pretty BIG shoes to fill. May the New Year find each of you celebrating successes with friends and family and toasting to health, wealth and happiness!
