After a day of laundry, dishes, and errands, I was glad to relax and finish another book (also a gift from Jen).

December 29, 2012

Got a little snow today and Henry was feeling well enough to play after a stomach bug. First snowman of the season!

December 28, 2012

Science experiments with my little man. He wrote about his observations in a notebook and appropriately used the subjunctive tense. So proud.

December 27, 2012

Record trolling and lunch date with Stephen.

December 26, 2012

Spent most of this rainy day right in front of the fireplace with my sweet man.

December 25, 2012

Love my family.

December 24, 2012

Christmas Eve brought our first snowfall & a party with the Qunicis.

December 23, 2012

You can't tell due to the blur of the movement, but this is my mountain man chopping wood in the yard. We've got a roaring fire going now :)

December 22, 2012

Relaxing day with SB. Finished my book, which was an excellent gift from Jen!

Must be the apocalypse - three generations of Buchanan men together. Glad for a nice trip to Texas.

Holiday haircut. After today's events, I am glad to do regular things with my kiddo.

December 13, 2012

I was watching Sienfeld tonight and was reminded of how much I relate to Elaine. I am not sure this is a good thing, but she makes me feel more normal.

Tonight's reminder about not enjoying serious movies:

Getting the ol' lungs checked out.

December 11, 2012

Forgot to post again. Yesterday I upped my squats to 85lbs. Was hoping for 100 by the end of 2012 - not there, but close!

December 10, 2012

Staring contest with the cat. She always wins. Aaand today was boring.

December 9, 2012

Latkes!

December 8, 2012

Took the kids to a holiday concert and did (mostly observed) a holiday sweater bar crawl with my sister. Both a great time in very different ways.

December 7, 2012

Got the first gifts of the season wrapped!

December 6, 2012

Traveling for NACADA. This Hyatt king sized bed is calling my name.

December 5, 2012

Comfy, cozy, happy.

December 4, 2012

The Watson girls dancing to the new holiday cd. Great lunch break today :)

December 3, 2012

Holiday cd time! The first one was burned tonight, with the rest coming this weekend.

Today was less than stellar. But here's my modest cat enjoying this Sunday.

December 1, 2012

Tree day!!

November 30, 2012

Had a super fun time at our girls' night and while there is a picture I didn't take it. Before I went out, though, I did take a picture of my boys checking out the record collection. As I took this, Bull in the Heather was playing.

November 29, 2012

Homemade enchiladas again! So good.

November 28, 2012

The lovely Vera, who was very snuggly tonight. I asked her if she was a snuggle muffin and she shouted, "Yes, I am a muffin!"

November 27, 2012

Grinch on tv! And our new paint colors in the background!

November 26, 2012

Finally painting the living room!

November 25, 2012

Stephen made his delicious pot roast. I am a lucky woman.

November 24, 2012

Got to see the lovely Lauren O'Donnell tonight, along with some awesome music, at Mojo.

November 23, 2012

Walking with my boys.

November 22, 2012

Thankful for such a wonderful family.

November 21, 2012

We had a nice dinner w/ my dad & Sharon. I'm happy when there's Allagash.

November 20, 2012

The winter lights are up in Newark! But I forgot to take a picture of GNO! Great to see Amy, Jen, Chrissy, and Vieve. Haven't laughed like that in a while :)

November 19, 2012

Poor Hankster had a rough day. 4 stitches and a heck of a bruise after falling at school.

November 18, 2012

At the gym. After lifting, I ran a mile... The first one I've ever attempted. 11:51. Not great, but not bad, right?

November 17, 2012

Dinner with the Travises tonight. Finley is getting such a personality!

November 16, 2012

Got to attend Henry's 4th grade "famous person tea" today. They write a report on a famous person, then dress and act like that person for the presentation. The parents go and ask questions to figure out who each kid is. Adorable :)

November 15, 2012

Perioral dermatitis. Ugh. Really getting to me the past couple of weeks.

November 14, 2012

Starting my next read.

November 13, 2012

It was a nasty morning today, but after the sun came out it was beautiful on campus.
