Hart and Melissa's Fabulous Website

We entered the new year with a fabulous little couples w/ kids party at our house. We invited my sister & brother-in-law and some mutual friends who have a cute little one of their own too. We spent the evening enjoying a random buffet of food including tacos, wings, hummus, salad, and snacks.

We then parked ourselves in front of the T.V., with a fire roaring in the fireplace, for an electric evening of Rock Band, board games, and counting down to 2009. Oh, did I mention the chocolate fountain we kept handily within arms reach?

Fun was had by all!

We wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009!!!!!

We had the occasion to celebrate our good friend Owen's 5th birthday party at Port Discovery this past weekend. Check out these photos for some of the action.

p.s. Port Discovery really makes the dads work for their fun :) The taller the dad, the harder the work ;)

Last week we started swim lessons at the local county rec center. I had no idea our county offered such a wide variety of activities for children of all ages! We'll definitely be looking into some adult classes too.

Our first class was super successful and super fun. We learned how to kick our feet (being held and holding onto a railing), how to dunk our heads all the way under, how to jump in from the pool deck, and how to slide in on our tummies. There was even a rousing rendition of the Hokey Pokey at the end. Great fun was had by all!

It's an 8 week class...I can't wait to see what we learn next (this weekend's class was just a review of last week).

Day 1:
Snow too dry for good packing. Tiny snow people were made in the morning. That just whet the appetite. By evening, it was clear that Snow Worms were the answer! Ahhh, satiated.

Day 2:
We awoke to a glazed over field of white. Luge! After whizzing downhill, gravity a cruel mistress, we decided to break through and check the character of the snow. Snow perfect for molding into a snowman fit for a 2 year old. Success!
