i had every intention of posting during december, honestly i did. every single day, i'd wake up and say to myself, "hey, why don't you write about _____?" and i'd reply, "why yes, that sounds like a grand idea!", and then i would go on with my day, full of all the things that fill up a mother's day--
and before i knew it, it would be 11pm and i would realize that i was too tired to write anything and i would decide to write about _____ tomorrow.
well, it's officially the big tomorrow, as in a brand new year, so i'm making a resolution to post something at least twice a week. please note that i said something, not something special. :) i have to be realistic, sometimes the muse takes a holiday.
but today, i DO have something special: a month in pictures. (note to my mother: you can click on any picture to see the whole scene. you can do that in all my posts--sorry i didn't mention this before).
december started out chilly, the beautiful crisp air was bright and clear and the sound of the leaves was too much to resist for little dancing feet:
and it turns out that if you go in thru the back of a stroller:
you will come out thru the front:
there was quite a lot of silliness:
and even more sweetness:
she fed the kitties so much that they could eat for a year:
and slid down every slide in nashville:
and practiced for christmas morning:
we had nothing days that we spent in bed, eating goldfish crackers and reading every book in the house:
and from time to time we cleaned up after ourselves:
and every single day, she made her daddy the happiest man who ever lived:
lessons learned from "schoolhouse rock": 3 is a magic number:
from our happy family, here's wishing you and your family a spectacular 2005!
