Happy New Year!

So far 2012 has ruled! The children slept in till 7:00am today. We spent the entire day at home cleaning and purging and de-Christmas-ing and selling junk on Craigslist. I got to spend 2.5 minutes alone on a walk. We popped some popcorn. And then- AND THEN- I booked a vacation. YAY!!!!!!!! Mexico, end of February, grown-ups only.

Okay so, I was just reading my post from last January 2nd. I did an update on my accomplishments for 2011 in this update post in November, so no need to write that all out again. I am very disappointed to report to myself that I never did write a letter to my Spanish host family. Leading up to the holidays I had every intention of doing so, but never got around to it. Otherwise, I feel like I accomplished all of my ’11 things to a certain extent. I wish I had done MORE yoga, wish I was in MORE photos with my kids, I wish I HAD blogged more. But I did some of the above, so that’s what matters to me. I’ve also envisioned changing the look of my blog for a long time now, and finally on Friday night I did just that. I kind of went bare bones this time- we’ll see if I add any additional flair or not.

Without further adieu, Anne’s List of Things to Accomplish in 2012:

1. Take a yoga class. And continue with yoga longer than last year.

2. Write a letter to the host family I lived with in Spain.

3. Continue with the Spanish conversation class I took this fall/early winter.

4. Take a vacation without kids.

5. Blog more. Photograph more. Post more photos on blog.

6. Buy a mailbox. (We’ve been without a mailbox/slot for about 8 months now. This is getting ridiculous. I mean, how hard is it to buy a mailbox? Apparently very.)

Ahoy! It’s NYE! and that would be sparkling pear juice

cheers! (Sam was way into cheers-ing everyone over and over and over)

this dude looks like he’s been beat up. Oh wait- it’s little bro and his sharp claws is all.
