Happy New Year!

Well, first day of the year, first day of our family blog. But in all honesty, Jenn will do the majority of the posts! The name of the blog is in Mia's honor. She's our little sugarplum and has no problem telling you so. And since the girl dances every moment of the day, the title is fitting for our life!

We're so happy and grateful for all the blessings God bestowed upon us in years past, and pray he continues to do so in 2011. 2010 went out with a bang, and I'm hoping that 2011 starts off a bit calmer than December was!

The year started off in typical Beers form. CJ had to rush off to work (seriously rush. He woke up late!) and Mia and I have been having a lazy day at home. She and I will spend the afternoon cleaning out her toy bin and closet, finishing laundry, figuring out what to make for dinner, and hopefully baking and decorating some cookies. We'll see how much energy I have.

It hit me yesterday that the new baby will be here in just 3 months. My aunt once told me that the first year of your first child goes very slow. And as soon as that child turns 1, watch out, time flies. She sure knew what she was talking about! This baby still has no name, though CJ and I are kind of "in like" with one. But don't get excited, as with Mia no name anouncements until this child is here.

So the rest of the blog posts won't be so much rambling. More or less just a way for me to document the happenings in our little family. I just thought I'd put them in a blog and share them with all of you instead of hiding them in a journal.

Happy New Year, family and friends!
