Happy New Year

Well here it is New Year's Day. Last night Sheryl and I did not do much except take care of our kids, just like any other night. Sheryl made the mistake of telling them about the ball dropping so they had to stay up until 11:00 to see that. Then she mentioned the Chicago fireworks at midnight. So the great procrastination continued for another hour. The kids saw the fireworks and then went to bed.

Today, we visited the Shedd Aquarium. This was something new for the kids. Mathew really liked the dolphin show. In his own words, "They were funner" After the Shedd, we went to Navy Pier to watch the fireworks show which started at 7:00. The show was nice but all too soon the day was over, we were off to home and put the kids to school. Meghan wondered where her winter break went. Tommorrow she has to go back to school.
