I’m loving this challenge and well I hope that I can keep up with it - but it does bring about change in habits for the new year.  Keeping up and feeling like things are getting accomplished.

Day 4: Aodhan being goofy and fun - I believe he may have been getting tickled by dad at the time.

Day 5: It snowed - I’ve been told it doesn’t snow here often and stick - the boys are so happy!

We’ve saved some snow in the freezer - just in case we don’t see it for a while after it melts - boys idea.

2008 is probably one of the most event years of my life and I know probably for lots of others, too - but it seemed to me that one thing happened after another and just so many changes came about.  We moved twice - meaning two different schools for the boys.  A new job for Ed - setting up a new home - spending the summer/fall with my brother and family….and more.

So I have lots of things I want to accomplish this next year and blogging/journaling being one of them.  It is my hope to be more active in this area.  I also plan to participate in the a photo a day thingie.

So, I’m cheating a bit here - because I didn’t plan on this until - the 3rd, but I do have photos from each or these days.

Day One - a little project we decided to do - mod podge a really not so pretty desk - it’s much better now.  My plan is to add to it this year with photos, etc:

Day Two - A calendar that is in the works - going to add photos and other embellishments.  We created this using a carboard box - it’s about 3×3 ft and will be used to plan activities for the family - I’ll post more as it progresses - total fun because Ed helped, too!

Day Two - Requested photo of Aodhan and our cat, Blackjack:

Day Three: Food?  Okay, one of the things I’m trying to remember while I’m here is to try different foods - well I found this Pommes Frites (Deutsch for French Fries) sauce, I’m thinking cool - I like french fries - it’s just a mayo mix, oh well - not too far outside my box…so will keep trying:

And a post is coming soon - with those Germany photos…

Happy New Year!
