So long 2008...

Our end to 2008 was pretty great overall.  First, we decided we wanted to take Isaac to the Guthrie again one more time while he is still an only child.  It is so fu

n to see him get all dressed up and take a fancy night out so seriously.  We had dinner at Cue which is pretty cool if you want to have NO IDEA what you are eating.  It's good, but you just have to eat what is in front of you.  The Christmas Carol was GREAT as always and Isaac even stayed awake this year - always a plus.

We also decided this year to open gifts with just the 3 of us before the break began since once we are off from school on Tuesday the traveling begins.  One present Isaac and I were both particularly excited about was our new hoc

key skates.  I haven't had new skates since I was in high school so that was very cool and kinda weird.  Isaac has wanted new skates for a long time so we w

as REALLY excited to go try them out that night at SCSU.

On Monday night Isaac had his big theatrical performance a

s Joseph at the Newman Center's Christmas program.  He only had a few lines but was on stage most of the play.  He tends to get really quiet in front of people (no I am not kidding...) but he did such a GREAT job.

  2008 was such a great year for the Cox-Ebnet family.  We continue to have so much to be thankful for.  Heather and I are lucky to have jobs that we both love with coworkers that are so great.  Isaac continues to grow and amaze us with the young man he is becoming.  And finally we were blessed with an addition coming in 2009 which will no doubt make that yet another year full of change and excitement.

2009 - BRING IT ON!!!

Tis the Season

Yup - it's that time of year again, and I don't mean lights, garland, and gifts. This season is singlets, headgear, and lots of concessions. Isaac has officially started wrestling again and it's fun to see him getting better. He is starting to move from little kid wrestling where they pretty much just fall on each other and the eventual winner was the one that landed on top to actually doing some moves. Last night he had his first duals meet and did really well. Did he win? No, but he held his own against some older kids and kept off his back in both matches. Now begins the evenings practices and once in a while weekend tournaments. We don't go to a whole lot since it can get to be a bit much, but just enough that he gets a few trophies (they all do) and has some fun. Plus, nothing more fun for me (only speaking for me...) than watching Isaac, eating a hot dog for lunch, and moving from mat to mat. As long as he continues to enjoy it, there's nothing I'd rather be doing.

And the wins will come...
