Happy new year! The kids all had a great Christmas and a fun new year's eve.

The Secret Pal struck again over the Holidays and the kids got gift certificates for Target. Tyler had showed some frugailty one he had to use his own money to purchase games for his game system by not picking games that were too expensive or if he could get the same game that was one year older.

We were able to spend lots of time together with the kids over the break. All of us are getting anxious about the surgery. We have plans to dedicate one million dollars this month to the University of Florida(over the next couple of years) to recruit some researchers we have been talking to in order to create  a successful research team in pursuit of the cure. This year we are being very aggressive and I feel some big things are going to happen in 2010.
