January is always a rough month for all of us.  The noise of the Holidays are over and we left to getting back to the routine of everyday life.  I think with the absence of snow the kids are wondering if we will ever suit up for sledding again.  Well, the only way to survive the “what do we do” afternoon hours is to get creative-a tea party with our make believe friends, jamming on the piano, getting out our invention boxes and finding other ways to entertain each other.

 

I almost forgot to post these from the summer.  Kali and Lexi are good friends and it’s evident that they enjoy spending time together.  BFF right?  I remember we had a different saying when I was their age.  Don’t laugh, but it went 2 friends + 2 gether = 4 ever.  Yeah, kind of corny.

 

Don’t worry, this picture was taken in the summer. I just don’t want people to think that I put my half naked child out in the cold for a picture:)  It was a cute moment that I didn’t want to miss.  I am grateful for 2011 for all the lessons that I’ve had to learn this year.  At the same time, I am looking forward to many great things in 2012.  Happy New Year everyone!

These were taken after Veterans Day. Just a way for me to express my gratitude for the men and women that dedicate their lives to defending this country.  It’s a great reminder that we live in a very blessed nation.

Kenji’s birthday was in August but I hadn’t had the chance to develop his pictures until now.
