This little girl got another year bigger today. Ten years ago she shot out of my body like a bullet and she has been a blast ever since. No regrets!

I usually go hiking on New Year’s Day, but this year Billy suggested disc golf. We did great through six holes until Christina learned there are EIGHTEEN holes. She instantly lost interest. We followed this one family through 15 holes and were about to start the 16th after them when this group of eight obvious…

Here we are, turning another calendar page once again. January 1 is really just another day in a long string of days, but it’s as good a time as any to check in and see how things are going. This year, thanks to this project, I get to sit on the floor with 365 pages…

It was a nice end to the year. We had our annual Festivus celebration at church, then food shopping, then Robin cleaned out our game closet, which was an insane mess, had fried ravioli, meatball subs, and then had a nice celebration at midnight with our traditional deviled eggs (I think Robin had 8 or…

Today was a day of downs and ups and downs and very little in between. I wanted to get something sparkly to wear for New Year’s and I found five dresses at Goodwill in what I thought was my size, only to find that all but one were too small. I came home in tears,…

Didn’t do as much today as yesterday, and I decided that’s ok. I did prune my roses and catch this hibiscus in the sun. Christina and I also took apart the Lego pirate ship we built earlier this year so we can build one of the other 3-in-1 models in the kit. We watched a…

The girls are giving themselves facials, and loving it. Also today: wrapped up last week’s photo shoot, finished proofreading my website, created and ordered next year’s photo calendar (had 407 nice photos this year as opposed to 50 last year; photo a day project for the win!), organized my craft supplies, and cleaned up my…

Christina got a clay kit for Christmas and this is her first creation. We guessed it was a robin, but not surprised it isn’t. I particularly like the worm, which was a late addition.

Today was being way too productive at work, finishing editing the photos from the family shoot I did last week, amazing homemade pizza for dinner, and beer with old friends until midnight. Girl’s still got it. (Ha.)

Christmas was pretty great this year. The kids said a few times that Santa outdid himself this year. They literally loved everything they got. We made homemade pasta carbonara for dinner with family and it was just a nice day. We still have 275 cookies left to eat.

Santa’s response: You poop like a hippopotamus but Merry Christmas anyway!

We have baked something like 250 cookies in the last two days, with one more recipe to go. I just ran out of steam for that last one. I don’t know who is going to eat said cookies… Santa? But even he has limits. We also baked three loaves of banana bread a few days…

I’ve been watching the Holiday Light Fight show on TV and been impressed at some of the intricate displays people put in their yards for Christmas. Billy said he’s been driving past this one for a while and wanted to see it, so we went. It maybe wasn’t the same caliber as the ones on…

The catalog of Christmas decoration photos continues, mostly because I don’t feel creative enough to do anything else. Actually, most of my creative energy is going into wrapping up this project and a photo shoot and I’ve been happy with both, so I guess it’s a fair tradeoff.

Last day of dance and cheer for two weeks. Next week will feel weird!
