So I've been gone from this space for awhile but I'm back now. With some family pictures and some art goals.
Zoo Lights
Christmas Eve in our church clothes
Christmas Eve all bundled up and out for a walk.....Nana thought I was a little bit crazy when I was trying to talk everyone into a walk but I think she liked it.
We bowled on Christmas day and took this picture our shadows in the parking lot as we exited during the magic hour.
Left : Husband, Nana, A, G, Pops, Me with camera on right.
I've taken and saved more than 1,000 photos since posting her last.. Can you image how many total I've taken if I have saved over a thousand. But, we had birthdays, school parties, tree decorating, cookies with santa, gingerbread parties, and celebrations with both sides of the family and of course all the christmas morning fun. Since I would like to come back to my little place here on the web and I really can't imagine "catching up" with the events I've mentioned and not posted about, well, it makes sense to just post a few of my favorites from the past month and just jump right in after that. So......
A bowling.....watching her ball very carefully..........
and then noticing I am nearby so she strikes a pose.
And these two of the kids in their Chrismtas pajamas are just my favorite. I haven't really been a fan of the red nose and antlers as A has wore them all month but I don't think I would love this picture so much if the nose and antlers weren't a part of it.
And this one......uhhhhhhhhhh. I love this one. It was taken Christmas morning. G was so excited. These blue glasses were one of the first things he pulled out of his stocking. He put them on and I asked him to look at the camera so that I could take his picture. He was so excited and he couldn't contain his little self and this is what he choose to do with his arms. So stinking cute.
So, I wrote my birthday list. I have 37 goals I want to accomplish this year before turning 38 (what) next December. One of my goals is to complete 37 art projects with the kids before turning 38. So I sort of have two lists. Below it my crafting list.
