365::365 The End

Road Trip

It ends as it begins.  January 1st was my son after returning home from a long journey.  December 31st is my son, getting ready to go on a journey.  That's life...a continual journey, hopefully surrounded by those that we love.

364::365 Family

Family

Mama bear, Dada bear, and Baby bear.  All of our winter stuff, ready to go.  It may be simple, but this screams family to me.  I never needed to label my things until there was more than just me.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

351::365 My Boys

350::365 All Grown Up

My first pair of peep toe shoes - all part of my quest to dress like a grown up.  That they are also red patent leather AND only $10 - priceless!

My attempts at my new work wardrobe.  Probably the first time I've had my hair up in at least a decade - maybe two!

333::365 The Simple Things

Most of the toys at school are pretty low tech and the kids love them.  A pot and a spoon can result in more fun than electronics!

332::365 Bills? We don't need no stinkin' bills!

Paying Bills

I couldn't find the elf this morning.  The hubby put it in the one place I'd never find it...with the bills!

Went to Santa's Village to experience all that it offers during the holidays.  Finally...a gingerbreadman that looks like he has a face instead of a blur of icing!

Christmastime

You know it's time for Christmas in our house when all the flamingo ornaments come out to play!

327::365 Tag Along

Unexpected Passenger

In the rain, I found this little guy stuck to my car.  It just looked slightly surreal and I had to capture - it seems almost like it's a special effect.

326::365 Hmmm...Pie

Bring on the Pie!

Impromptu Thanksgiving with the bud at school.  A great way to break up the day.

325::365 Homework

Family Crest

It's our first homework.  Parents were allowed to help, but in a good sign for the next 14 years, Henry wanted to do it all himself.  Sounds good to me.

324::365 Buds

I love the iPhone4.  Sometimes, it's the only way to get a picture of me and my bud.

323::365 Ho Ho Ho
