Happy January

You are all probably wondering why I am wishing you a Happy January when the month is almost over. Well, that's because two very important events hadn't happened yet at the beginning of the month: Wyatt's birth and Austin's birthday. I had this idea long before Wyatt came to make Austin a picture calendar for his desk at work for his birthday from the boys, but of course we needed Wyatt to arrive in order to do that. By the time I felt up to staging 12 pictures for the calendar representing each month, I had two days to execute the plan. What I thought would be a fun, easy task, ended up being a little bit of a headache. I wanted to have both boys in each picture for each month, but my little lovely Dax was very much opposed to many of the "props" I had planned. It ended up that Wyatt was in the pictures with the most props because he was so cooperative (i.e a sleepy head) and Dax was in the pictures with the "cooler" props (i.e the ones he could destroy afterwards...you'll see what I mean). In the end I was very happy with the way the calendar turned out. I printed all the pictures in black and white, but you get the colored version. Austin loved it and it proudly sits on his desk. Anyway, I decided that I would start each month with the picture we took for Austin's calendar and send my birthday and anniversary wishes to our family for that month as well. Remember, we have a BIG family, so try not to get bored....it's more for my benefit! And, it might just help out some forgetful family members as well! Happy January!

Staying warm through the WINTER!
