I just recently heard from a few of you that you are still reading along so I thought I'd throw up a few pics and a quick update.
We went to the beach for our annual New Year's Day visit to the ocean. I think that it's important to start the year off right by hitting the beach, even if I grossly overestimated how warm it actually was. We lasted all of about 10 minutes before the kids were ready to commit mutiny and hitch a ride home with an adult who was wise enough to keep the kids INdoors.
As you may notice there are definitely more pics of Lucy. This is because she is my main 'subject' as I practice with my new digital SLR while Ty is at school. She tries to cooperate with my seemingly endless attempts at getting the perfect shot but usually gives up after about 5 snaps of my camera. We're still working on the act of 'smiling'. Whenever I suggest that she 'smile' she basically holds her face in a real pained position.
Not too much is going on right now. Tyson's likes are still the same-- toys, video games and friends. He is learning to read and write in Kindergarten. It's definitely harder than I thought it would be! I'm pretty sure that he would agree.
Last week we had another snow day and the kids were less than impressed with the snow itself. After what seemed like 30 minutes getting the kids ready to go outside in it we headed out to play. About 9 minutes in they were ready to go back in. Uhhh... no way. I wasn't lettin' them go in until play time equaled the prep time. I really do like being home with the kids. I secretly love it when Ty's school is cancelled for the day so we can hide out and play games and just relax.
Lucy's Winter-loves are her boots and Tumbles class. Whenever I put on my boots she insists on wearing hers too. (See pic below). All week she longs to go to Tumbles (a kids gym) class. I'm not sure if she truly loves it or is just excited to go to something that is totally focused on her.
I hope that your year is truly blessed! I'll try to put up some Chinese New Year pics next week.
