This is the Kraatz Motto!
The Kraatz family decided to ring in the new year the same way we did the past two years...at our great friends Mark and Jessica (and Brody's) house. They throw a great NYE party and Mae brought in the new year with all of her friends....even though she did technically sleep right through the ball dropping. We know she was downstairs with us in spirit!
New Year's day, Christa and I decided to cook for the three of us and invited Ms. Teri over for lunch. We fixed honey ham, yams, black-eyed peas...THE WORKS! Then, after kissing Mae Day bye, we headed out to go see Avatar in 3D! What a treat! C and I had a lot of fun, but very much looked forward to getting back to our sleeping beauty...who is ALSO in 3D! =)
The second weekend was a busy busy one! The Johnny Five played a show in Corpus Christi on Friday which was quite awesome! Then Saturday our friends Kim and Jason decided to have a New Year's Eve Part Deux party! They weren't able to celebrate with the rest of us on ACTUAL NYE, so we decided to just do it all again! We had such a great time and bringing in the new year...AGAIN, and decided we should make it a regular thing with all holidays...St. Patti's Day, Easter, July 4th...you name it!
The week following the party, Mae Day came down with her very first cold...and boy was it sad! Daddy had been getting sick the week before and must have passed it on. She did look too cute with a snotty nose and the tired eyes...but we knew she just did not feel too hot. Luckily the cold didn't stick around too long and before we knew it, Maebry was back in action! Since she felt so good...she decided it was time to ROLL OVER! And the fun hasn't stopped since! lol
Much to my surprise, the weekend of Jan. 15 Christa had a FOUR DAY WEEKEND! She had taken off Friday to accompany Maebry and I on a trip to the doctor to get Mae's Synagis shot, then we had the regular weekend PLUS Martin Luther King Day! So needless to we took advantage!
Christa's grandma Jane was in the hospital in Temple, TX. so we headed up there Saturday morning to visit her and see Maebry's Mamaw and Papaw. Grandma Jane seemed to be doing well and Christa was able to spend some time with her while Maebry and I strolled around in the parking lot in her stroller. After their visit, all of us went to eat at The Cotton Gin in Temple and had a really nice time catching up.
After lunch we hurried home so that I could meet up with Aven at the house and have Ex-Penguins practice for the first time in many moons. We made a quick stop off in Kyle first to drop Christa and Maebry off at Matt and Savannah's house to have dinner and catch up a bit. Aven and I had a blast playing and go over the old tunes and then we headed back to Kyle to pick up C and a very sleepy Mae Day...which lead to a very sleepy mommy and daddy and the end of our Saturday.
That Sunday Christa and I decided we wanted some VERY YUMMY Clear Springs in New Braunfels. So we loaded up the Maester and hit the road. Lunch was fantastic and it as such a pretty day that we decided to drive all around New Braunfels through the hills and river areas while Mae took a nice nap. When we got home we put Mae down for a bit and Christa and I knocked out a few lingering chores around the house. We ordered pizza, watched the Golden Globes and really just had a nice relaxing evening.
Lastly, since Christa had Monday off as well...and we had done so much driving and work around the house...we simply just rested. It was a fantastic end to the long weekend and Maebry really enjoyed having so much MOMMY TIME!!! =D
The following weekend we had even more grandparent problems. My grandfather, Poppo, had to go into the hospital for a week or so, and Grandma Jane was still in Temple. We headed up to Fredericksburg to see Poppo. Grandmommy and Grandaddy K watched Mae while we headed up to the hospital. We met one of my cousins for the very first time...and she is close to 40! It was pretty cool getting to meet her and her husband. Maebry really enjoyed getting some grandparent love and Poppo seemed to be doing much better.
We left F'burg after a late lunch, raced home and I headed to San Antonio where The Ex-Penguins AND The Johnny Five both had shows! Christa went to Matt and Savannah's again for more good times with the kiddos.
After a nutso month of busy weekends, we decided to take a break and just relax...which was great. Maebry always gets very loves having a peaceful weekend at home...so we owed her one.
Below are pics from our busy first start to the year. Enjoy!
