Feliz Ano Nuevo!

It's 2008! Tate is 10 weeks old today! Last night Katie, Alyssa, Ashley, & co. hosted their annual New Years theme party at the Perry's. This year's theme was "red." It was a gargantuan amount of fun. There were close to 30 people at the celebratory shindig. Bagel bites were consumed, pop songs were played in groups of 2, cards were played, and much fun was had. As opposed to most New Years parties, the only person who puked was Tate. Melissa even pushed her bedtime past midnight to take part in the over-hyped, yet not-to-be-missed countdown. Tate went to bed around 9 pm. Ryan Wool brought his DJ equipment and we had a dance party. Taking a page out of Britney Spears' book, Mel and I danced while holding the baby monitor (being the responsible parents that we are). Tate slept well knowing that his parents were but a cry away. Mel went to bed around 12:30 and I stayed up playing cards with the guys until 3:30 or so. It was one of the better New Year's experiences that we have had in recent years. We are lucky to have a fun group of friends. Today we went to the Conley's to have brunch with our parents, the Perry's and Worgull's. It tasted good. (How's that for a catchy closing comment?)
The last 2007 family picture we will ever take.
Tate insisted that we take a picture of him sitting on the couch all by himself.

Holla at your Mel.

So candid.
Did we tell you that we are parents now?
Proud papa on New Years Day.
