"Can you please be careful to my head? That's how I can get hurt. Can you stop that please?" - Luke's response to me busting out my awesome dance moves.

Okay, okay...

So I'm a little slow with my New Year's resolution...

We are currently in the process of packing up the contents of our first little home and heading north. Packing with a 20-month-old has been quite a headache. The truck comes in less than a week and I will happily resume snapping photos after the majority of our junk is in boxes and our house no longer looks like a pigsty. I'm just cooky like that.

My 2010 is starting Feb. 1. :)

Starting my 2010 Resolution

I've been rather quiet over here while ironically being excessively and obnoxiously loud over on my Facebook account, so I thought that a good way for me to get back into the blog would be to give myself a challenge. The goal I've set for myself is to take one picture each day that I absolutely love. It can be of the kids, the cats, food I make, sights we see, whatever, it just has to be something that inspired me or brought me joy that day.

Instead of waiting until the new year begins, I'm starting this immediately. Here are the two (yes, two) I took today after fiddling around with the timer option and learning how to maneuver my camera while it was set up on the tripod.


I love how my crazy hair looks like some odd sort of toupee gracing Jay's head. I am also amazed that we are all genuinely smiling!


I love the way Aidan looks in this picture, particularly his eyes. I rarely get him to smile for the camera, but he did it this time. Thanks, Bubs! He looks so grown up. It's bittersweet.

Merry Christmas Fail
