Last Sunday I baked some pretzels to take to work as a celebration of my new nephew. Here’s me doing the dirty work.

Oliver’s arrival sort of pushed a lot of other things out of my mind. Now I have really realized that it’s 2008 and I might want to reflect on the previous year as well as make a few goals for the new one.
Well, reflecting takes a lot of work and I’m still tired from traveling back across the country. Most of my year was taken up by my brother getting married and having a son. Other happenings and events don’t really pop into my mind (sorry if you feel you are a happening or event that should). I am just very happy that Marika has joined the party and made my brother a happy dad. I am also very happy that Oliver has arrived.
For 2008 I plan on starting my career as an awesome aunt. That should take up a good amount of time and effort if I’m doing it correctly. I don’t really have anything else major. I like what’s going on and I plan on keeping it up.
Now for a baby picture. Oliver at one week.

Oliver and his Grammy Linda
He’s only about five days old and has changed so much already. Still pretty tiny though.

This one was taken awhile ago, but I’m wearing my brown sweatshirt today as well, so just suspend your disbelief. Doesn’t the cat look a little like a cartoon kitty? Maybe it’s his eyes.

A lazy Sunday means blogging an oldie but a goodie. Here is Lincoln showing off his martial arts skills.
On my way to work this morning, I glanced at the old odometer and saw 100 miles. So far so good on my little MadAss. It’s a hoot to ride around. The streets can be a touch bumpy on a little bike and even a 30mph max speed can be dangerous so I picked up some new safety gear.
Tomorrow the UPS man should deliver me a jacket with armor. Laugh if you want, but safety comes first for Annie Jo.

Made it to the top
For all the naysayers out there, more proof of hiking activity. This time I got quite a view at the top.

This is my new transportation. I don’t want to jinx it by sharing with the whole world, but my scooter acquisition troubles may be behind me. If you see me scootin’ around, give a wave.

Wait for it . . .
Congratulations and best wishes to the newly engaged couple!
I am 99% ecstatic about the marriage and the baby and 1% convinced that this is just an outrageously elaborate scheme orchestrated by my mother in order to get me to visit the West Coast more often. Either way, good show.

Annie Jo is soon to become Aunt Annie Jo, thanks to these two. Bring on the baby! In the meantime, I’ll frantically practice my aunting skills. See more pictures of the big news weekend.
