We finally made the last payment for Jack's birth today.  I guess we'll keep him.

(For the first time in my LIFE I have managed to keep a New Years Resolution for an entire twelfth of the year!  I posted every day of January.  It kind of makes me wish that I'd been more ambitious with my resolution, if 2012 was going to be the year of actually keeping it.  I could have lost a bunch of weight by now or something.  On second thought, I'm not going to diet in 2012, just in case there's something to this Mayan end of the world thing.  It would be just my luck to spend the last year of the world eating carrot sticks and celery instead of chocolate and pasta.  If the world is still here next January, I'll work on the weight thing.  That seems sensible to me.  I'm sure that the Mayans would agree, since they invented chocolate.)
