When did the Simpsons movie come out? Was it this past summer? It is really easy to get behind the times here in Sprout Central. As long as Zeke is now participating more fully in consumer culture (I kid, I kid), I finally "Simpsonized" him. Fairly decent likeness!
In the next couple of days, I'm going to write at least a few posts that are of the baby book variety -- you know, things that I won't remember in the future and that detail day to day toddler stuff. I'm sure you will all be riveted.
Thinking of readers, I want to draw your attention to my visitor counter at the bottom of the page, currently at 627. This just completely overwhelms me as it is not counting page views, but unique visitors. Now, it doesn't account for whether aboutsprout readers are checking the blog at multiple locations, but let's say every reader visits from at least three locations like home, office and wifi at the coffee shop while on Christmas vacation. That is still a lot of readers! Hmm...maybe I should do some more tracking to see where you all are reading from. It feels good to know that friends and family are near (at least online) as we start 2008.
We had a wonderful holiday season. I was proud of myself for getting all Christmas shopping and shipping done well before Christmas and I even got in a little bit of baking. Other highlights include: finally finding a gift that my husband likes and wouldn't have bought himself; getting the laundry sink and stand mixer of my dreams as gifts; writing thank you notes before New Year's Day; making my goal of writing more posts in 2007 than in 2006 (by two!); and going out on a date with my husband on New Year's Eve. Zeke also did a great job surprising us and sleeping peacefully through all the fireworks nearby, even those just yards away from his nursery window. It is with some chagrin, though, to note that I did not get any of my traditional cleaning done before the New Year (you should start the new year right!) and that I might still have some Halloween pumpkins lingering around the front porch. I did manage to get some electronic (and therefore green) New Year's greetings out, though. I'll try to figure out how to post it here soon.
Happy New Year to all our friends, family, neighbors and readers! We look forward to spending 2008 with you.
