First day of 2009

First picture of 2009. Yes, my kids again The picture is a little blurred but it is so hard to have one where Steb is actually looking at the camera AND smilling ! Pierre doesn't look his best but when you have more than two kids, it's hard to have everybody looking their best on one picture !!!

This is one of the picture I took that will show you how hard it is to take pictures of that boy (no he's not tired: he's just trying to escape the camera ... ) :

His wife could thank me for taking so many pictures of him because a lot of parents would have given up already !!!

The picture was taking at my grand'ma's place today. She's 87 years old and we don't have a special bond ... She's always have a good word to make people confortable like during the lunch: " I take my pictures because I know I won't see you until next year !" Remember: she's the one who made me exchange the orchids last christmas I wonder how many people exchange flowers every year ... Last year, I was one of them By the way, she loved this year orchid ( lucky us !!! BUT we made sure we got one with funky colors !!! )

Our new year eve was pretty quiet: dinner at my mom's, home by 11 pm, put the kids in bed and Chuy started to make lots of phone calls in the US. Thanks to our internet connection, we can call 72 countries for free (of course, Mexico is still not included Who cares to be able to call China if you can't call the country where you have family members ??? ). He called his brother in Fort Worth,TX,his nephews in Seatle, his school friends in California!!! It's funny how we are invited everywhere: we just need to win the lotery !!! Chuy had a lot of fun making these phone calls but like always, he's always the one who calls ... I'm not happy about it and feel bad for him.

Google still loves to celebrate everything will a little picture:

Wanna see some fuchsias? Here they are (well, they will actually be two only at the end of the stitching ...)

Thanks for your best wishes for 2009 ! I'm so too addicted to your comments ...

PS: we're "watching" the Will Ferrell movie: my man doesn't seem to enjoy it either (but like I told him! Will Ferrell doesn't have any good movies; he was only good in Saturday night live where he played for only three minutes at a time ... and that was good for most people ) My last word for the night spells in 6 letters : B O R I N G !!! Should I hope it is going to be funny at one point?

Edit: for those who don't know it yet: the Will Ferrell DVD is MY christmas gift !!!
