Jan 31st, This has been a very emotional day for me. I know she will have a great time, but I will miss her so much. I think I did a pretty good job taking this photo myself.

Jan 30th, DOG PARK in January! Another 65 degree day.

Jan 29, Heart shaped ravioli prepared by Emily and Matt.

Jan 28th The Ipad has some really cool effects.

Jan 27 The new Kauffman Center is beautiful.

Where did January go?

Well we are 27 days into the new year, where did it go? I'm doing much better at taking a picture a day than I have been about exercising and eating right. February will be my month for that!

Jan 25, Pizza fail, I made this amazing pizza with homemade Alfredo sauce only to have it fall into the oven and catch on fire! A couple of pieces were edible.

Jan 26, Played with Emily's Zoku maker today. Strawberry yogurt, strawberry limeade, pineapple coconut, and coconut.

 

 

 

January 24, "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."

January 25, After a long day at work I love to scroll through pinterest while lying in bed on my soft comfy pillow.

Went to dinner with these two lovely ladies tonight. 291 days until that happens again.

We went to a Hockey game on Saturday night, it warmed my heart to see that Jill's eyes still light up for cotton candy.

January 20th Gefeliciteerd and Dag Party

I came home from work and Emily had decorated with pompoms for her party tomorrow night.

 

         January 18th, It's here! I can't wait to start learning how to use it!

 

January 17th, My little love bugs.

January 16th. I crocheted a lot during the scrap weekened. I made Aislinn a purse and matching ones for her American Girl dolls.

 

January 15, We love the porch at Wishes. I couldn't believe it was nice enough to sit outside in January.

January 14th I had a "knowledge transfer" with Missi and taught her to crochet.

January 13th, lets get this party started.

                   

January 12th

A baby I took care of at work had this blanket.
It is the exact same fabric that is on the back of Jill's bunny blanket. Her blanket is so faded it is now unrecognizable.

 Em and I had a fun visit with Jana, Emma and Abby, I always feel like I'm in the presence of a great miracle  when I'm with these girls!  Happy Birthday Jana!

I have the worst luck with vacuums, I had to change the stupid belt today TWICE!


I've been thinking of my sister all day today as she has her first chemo. I wish I was with her, but only one person can go back with her and today Paul went. I'm praying everything goes well.

January 9th

It's still a beautiful January. What a great day for a walk.

January 8th

When I work, it is sometimes hard to figure out what my picture should be, but today I think Elizabeth's shoes are perfect!

January 7th

While I was working Robbie made his first wood working project with the tools he got for Christmas.

My husband is so goofy! Imagine my surprise when I went to get eggs this morning.

 

If this is January, I love it!!!! Great walk with my puppies today.

I went with my sister to the oncologist today. I was going to retake this picture, but this one makes me laugh!

Fresh Start

Wow! Two years without a post, some blogger I am.
So this year is going to be different. I guess I feel like I don't
really have much going on, no kids at home.
So not much exciting happens, but it feels like the
years speed by and I don't even know where they go.
So maybe this blog will help.

My goals for 2012 are to take a picture everyday, I will be getting Jill's Canon Rebel soon and I'm very excited  to start learning some things with it. I will be posting those pictures here, sometime with a description, more than likely without one. I hope in doing this I will have more gratitude in my life for the little things. Another goal is to exercise for at least 15 min. 5 days a week. I figure once I get started I'll go longer. Of course to lose 20lbs and eat healthier, blah, blah, blah......


2012 is starting out to be challenging already. Dad on IV antibiotics through a PICC line for endocarditis and Cher starting her battle with breast cancer. We have exciting things going on too. Emily leaves for Amersterdam at the end of this month, I can't wait for the Harris family vacation to Europe in July, and my trip to Cancun with my Rick Sisters in November.

Happy New Year!  Text to Emily who is in St Louis.

                     I often have wanted to climb into a pile of warm laundry myself.

This is Megan at work. I told her about my picture a day project and she said excitedly that she wanted to be today's picture. She is so goofy! I love this girl, she always makes my day more fun.
