Very Happy New Year's!

This year, we spent New Year's Eve at the brand new Great Wolfe Lodge in Grapevine. The place was amazing and everyone had such a great time. The main attraction is the indoor waterpark, but the resort also has an interactive game that kids can play throughout the hotel, an arcade, a spa, a kid's spa, restaurants and a very kid-friendly atmosphere and design. There is also an outdoor water park that will be opening later. The kids didn't want to leave! Thanks to Angie for keeping it on her radar and to Farrel for finding such a great deal on the rooms! Thanks, also, to Grandma and Papaw for letting Nolan have a calmer, quieter New Year's at their house!

Yesterday, we were talking about resolutions. Carson calls them "revolutions." Kind of appropriate considering they are intended to turn something in your life around. 2007 was a year of "revolutions" in so many positive ways. When you pray for God to increase your positive thinking and behavior, you shouldn't be surprised when He does just that, even if His method is a little different than yours would have been. Laiken's '08 resolution is to keep her backpack more organized--a very worthy goal! Carson's is to "play all the sports he can"--I don't really think that will be much different than what he does now! Mine is to enjoy all of these new blessings and to lose the last 15 pounds that I am working on losing. Farrel is still thinking about his, but I'm hoping they involve getting some painting and other projects done around the house!! :-) I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!
