Auld Lang Syne

Hello to everyone, as this family looks over the past year we have manythings to be thanksful for, nothing to regret and much hope for 2009. Josh and i spent the evening searching the internet for a new nursery and i couldnt help but find the theme for New Years Eve- Auld Lang Syne, which i found has a load of meaning behind it, one we personally relate to with all the moving a military family does.

What is the meaning of this New Year's Eve Song? Auld Lang Syne is about old friends who have parted and meet again. To celebrate their long friendship, they share a drink together and reminisce of memories from long ago. The basic message is that we should not forget our old friends and should celebrate a reunion with them

Tha song is often heard in its native language which i think is from scotland but i found a translation, my favortie verse is - And there is a hand, my trusty friend,And give us a hand of yours,And we will take a goodwill draught (of ale)For old long ago

Wich basically means celebrate the reunions with old friends.

Josh and i have been thinking up different blog names, any ideas, x4 would work of course.

Anyhow, thats all for tonight. We wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the blessing 2009 will bring.

Holidat Blessings form our hosue to yours

Hello everyone, the Chirstmas Season is upon us here in italy. The air is cold, the mountains are covered with snow and the house is decorated, including garland on out balcony since these italian contractors didnt put any socket to plug in lights out there. Jacob enjoys it all the same.

Jacob loved decorating the tree, he has been really great about leaving it alone now, once in a hwile he will snatch a lower strung one, we made sure those are all softies!! His new favortie words consist of candycane spoken VERY quickly and with a ton of enthusiasm!! ANTA or as we know him Santa, he claims snowmen as Anta as well.
