2015: I Resolve

1. To focus my energy on what matters, and to better identify the things that do not. 

2. To utilize more efficiently my time, for the primary benefit of my family's well-being. 

3. To purge our home of unnecessary items, and to avoid replacing those things with other impulse purchases.

4. To avoid indulging in activities, statements and projects solely for the accumulation of praise.  

I think that's a good start. 

It really is...

...a wonderful life. 

This Christmas will go down in the books as one of the best ever! Just add toddler for a joyous holiday season. 

...and marshmallows!

Christmas is for Kids

But adults are the real winners. 

 

Merry Christmas!

Congratulations, JerBear

Today, my husband met his billable hours requirement. This is a badge of honor for lawyers. Good job, honey!

He met his requirements, even though I made him come home early last Friday, because our babysitter had to leave early, too.

Summer > Winter

Wouldn't you agree?

Jimmer is Two!

Yes, the coolest cat in town is two. Time flies. Jimmer loves peas with a little ranch dressing, milk and the venerable cookie. 

We love Jimmer pulling on our hands to show us something, his affectionate head butts, and his love of reading stories before bed. We love reading stories, too!

Samantha loves Jimmer's big hugs and hand squeezes. Most of the time. 

Happy birthday, James! You are the sweet in our tea and the pie of our eyes.
