Happy New Year!

We celebrated the new year by going to the Porland Winterhawks game at the Rose Garden. My work has a share in one of the luxury suites there. For this game, the company gave away all the tickets to employees, and I ended up with a few extra so we were able to invite Parker, Steve, and Megan. We had a really good time. I had never been in the suite before; it was very nice. It was a good game too, the Winterhawks played well and won the game 4-2. Kellen and Kristin had a really good time too. Kristin now says that the 'Winnerhawks' are one of her favorites! Kellen had a good time exploring the suite and dancing to the music during stoppages of play. Toward the end of the game, TommyHawk, the mascot, came into our swuite for a bit to get all the kids cheering. We weren't quick enough to get a photo, but but of the kids thought it was very cool.

Kellen slept a lot better last night. Not much coughing at all. He went to sleep this evening without much trouble, so we think he's on his way to feeling better. He was clingy again today, but I think he's still catching up on his sleep.

We stayed near the house today, but Kristin wanted to go with me to an errand to Safeway so that she could wear her new 'Happy New Year' hat that she got last night at the hockey game. Sure enough, she got a couple compliments at the store so she was beaming.
