New Look For A New Year

WARNING: The following is a big 'ol mess of random. Enter at your own risk!

I'm gonna do this in list form, mainly cause I am just too tired to think in paragraphs!

* I LOVE my new camera!!! And, even more than the camera, I love that the boys & Mindy went all out for ME this year. Thank you SO much!!

* I FINALLY figured out how to do a 3 column layout for the blog! What do ya think? Maybe a tad too purple - I may change the color of the post background.

* It REALLY is time to just step away from the food! REALLY!

* Come January 1st the tree and the junk food are all headed for the trash!

* We are once again looking for a new place to live ... long story, I'll tell ya later. Let's just say that moisture is not ALWAYS your friend!

* My girls, they love the snow ...

(did ya really think you would make it out of here without pictures?!)

* Tomorrow is the end of the year ... the decade ... WOW.

* I have never been happier to see a year end ... and never more thankful for the Lord that sees us through!

* HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Project 365 - Week 52

Week 52 ... and even though, between my camera and my computer, some of the pictures disappeared, I have had a blast! Thank you Sara for hosting us this year!

Well ... this week I lost more pictures ... I KNOW!

But it is OK because guess what!

No, really, GUESS!!!

I GOT A NEW CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS!

I could NOT be more excited. I have had so much fun playing with it. Still learning the ropes and the ins and outs of it, so I have nothing spectacular to show you ... yet!

I do, however, have plenty of pictures for the week ... just not ALL the days are represented ... but here we go!

Sunday - this is where I would post the picture of Hattie and I making LOTS of yummy baked goodies for her teachers.

Monday - This is where I would show you MORE baking!

Tuesday - this is where I would show you the picture of Sophie climbing the walls because, in an effort to bribe my child to sit in her seat at the movies with H's class, I gave her my cup and she drank 3/4 of my diet coke. Hello caffeine, so happy to meet you!

Wednesday - This is the saddest one to have lost. The finished product of our Nativity.

(Now to the pictures that DO still exist!)

Thursday - Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!!! I took this one on my cell to send to my mommy to show her that we are carrying on the tradition!

Friday - Christmas day! Lots of pics for today ... cause I got my new CAMERA!!!!!!!



The day that ended with a rousing game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos! It is a HIT with all of us!


Saturday - We stayed in jammies all day long and watched a TON of movies. The best, most relaxing day in a LONG time!

Sunday - playing with my camera with two of my very favorite models!



Thank you again Sara! I cannot wait to do it all over again ... with my new camera!
