Resolutions

Some people don't like them, but I do. I like the idea that I can start with a fresh slate, no matter how illogical that is.

The kids have made some resolutions for 2011.

CHARLOTTE

1.  Stop sucking her thumb (she's not too keen on this one).
2.  Be nice to people and polite.
3.  Learn to read.

ANSON

1.  Try new vegetables and foods.
2.  Make progress on his DS games (those are hand-held video games).
3.  Jump the wake on his wakeboard.

These resolutions were actually theirs, not ones we fed them. Although I admit Santa had a little help with encouraging the thumb sucking one.

I have a few, and they tend to be variations on some of the same themes each year.

1.  Have more fun with the kids.
2.  Declutter the house and my life.
3.  Continue with the blog, even if only a few people read it!

Although I thought I'd be posting constantly, taking cool photos and sharing, and coming up with cute themes, etc., I realized that I don't have that much time on my hands. But I like thinking about what I'd like to share, even if it never gets up here. It makes me stop and contemplate how my day is going, what I'm doing with the family, and so on. So I'm going to try to keep posting and not worry much about what it is, just share what I can. Some posts will be entertaining, and some boring, but that's life, isn't it?

Lastly, I wish you all the best health and happiness for the new year!

P.S. Anson wanted me to share this photo of him with his new legos from Christmas. I realized that I'm feeling pressure to take lots of photos to include on the blog, but sometimes just being in the moment and not capturing it is really more fun. But Anson is always wanting me to document his lego creations, as he tends to then take them apart and try something new.
