So far there are no new Smiley's this year. All three of us were around for 2011. Even Vivi was there for like 10 months. Obviously Teresa and I were there the whole time. Anyway, the point of this is that there will be a new Smiley later this year. Probably late June. There is a possibility he will be called "Shawn" or "Carlton" but nothing is set in stone yet. We thought he might be jealous of Vivi having a name from the hit TV series Psych (Juliet is her middle name. I didn't tell Teresa till much later so she wouldn't be able to object) and of the male characters the names we like best are Carlton and Shawn. Teresa shot down Gus and Henry. Anyway.
As far as I know we don't really have any new years resolutions. And no, it isn't because we're still working on last years. Instead we have a tradition that we inherited from Teresa's side of the family. We stay up on December 31st until midnight, drink cider (the martinelli kind) and eat 12 grapes. With each grape you eat, you make a wish. Two years ago when we did it I did pretty well and got like 3/12 wishes. Fortunately for my cousin Jen one of them was that she would meet her future spouse that year. Last year, I didn't get any of my wishes. :'( This year my wishes were more resolutionary than usual. I'll just have to wait and see how I do this year. I'm pretty sure a couple of them are like Vivi talking and walking. Oh, and being toilet trained. That is my number one wish. Cross your fingers for us!
