Glade has been quaratined due to a week of strep, then pneumonia, then RSV, and now ear infections & I caught the flu. So there has been less social activities for us and more watching tractors tear up our back yard.
Less of this, cooking...home made lasagna
More of this...
And this...
That is the longest book I have ever read! We are having a good time together (me & Glade) but being cooped up is no fun. I actually feel lazier. But, we will push through and hope the quarantine will end soon!!
This post will update you on what we have been doing recently. 
I also made rolo cookies for work on Friday. It was my last day--Glade enjoyed the dough and the cookies were devoured at work. It is bittersweet not to work anymore. My sweet boss is keeping me on the schedule for 6 more months just in case "I change my mind." Love my work! I just might need a change of scene in a few months when Greg is less busy at work and I can sneak in for a day or two.
My piano! Courtesy of Ryan & Jen, friends from the firm. I am thrilled. Even though it needs a tune, I have been playing it non-stop since its delivery yesterday. :) Glade will love having music in the home.
Glade: Has enjoyed social hour at the gym, he heads to the daycare and I work out every day. Library, playdate with friends and cousins-like Luke, pictured above. We are still attempting the pottytraining...He is currently sick AGAIN with high fevers. Arg!
Greg with some of our friends from church at an activity. They wore matching jackets. :) We headed with the VanOrmans to a movie this week. It was a much needed evening out. Saw Green Hornet-laughed/coughed my head off. 
Duck! On our way to Beus pond with Grandma Taylor to see the ducks. Little did we know they would leave the pond to meet us in the parking lot! They CHARGED!!
Duck! After they charged us for the bread we had (*thank heavens for the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you") we made it to the bridge. That way we had a few feet between us. These ducks were starved!
Duck! Glade's inventive way to feed the ducks--put it in his mouth first, then spit it out to the ducks. That way he still got to taste it.
Goose! The geese were as tall as Glade! 3 feet!!
The past couple of weeks have been full of food & friends. We have hosted many playdates, pottytrained, & practiced cooking! This picture is of Glade (he does have a pull-up on) searching for his potty prize, see picture below...
A GIANT jumbo marshmellow. It is almost as big as his cup! We watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy over the holidays (I know, we are behind the times) and so Glade's naked picture and his prize reminded us of Smeagle looking for the "precious." 
Ham and pea fettucine (sp?). Home-made cream sauce.
French Dip sandwiches. Also on the menu was: chicken hot dish hashbrown casserole (long name, really easy), green chili enchiladas, sweet & sour meatballs, sweet pork, and oriental noodle stir fry. I've kept that resolution, but sadly had a diet coke yesterday. I couldn't resist. That's my "PRECIOUS." So, carbonation is back in full-swing. 
Glade kickin' off the New Year with a fancy haircut from aunt Jen. Look how long it was. It curls up alot shorter-but looks cute! 
Took Glade to the Treehouse yesterday. We are establising more of a steady routine this year. Library Mondays, and at least one other fieldtrip during the week. Glade loves to explore, as pictured-make music, & play with friends. 
Glade enjoying a ferari car set from our friends, the Georges. He loves anything that moves! His favorite toy for Christmas was a motorized Thomas train. Mine was my iphone which makes it easy to upload photos. :)
Greg and me with our friends, The Griffins. We enjoyed a Jazz game on Jan. 1! 
As for resolutions, I have decided on 3 things and believe it or not, they have nothing to do with exercise! I'm already at the gym every morning for 2 hours. They are:
