Recappin' and Moving On

I realized this week that a blog is like a scrapbook. Now, I know that's not an earth rattling realization to most of you, but I am not a scapbooker. I've tried it and walk away every time. Agonizing over each page, the caption for the pictures, finding just the right paper and stickers...it makes me itch. And I realized I was letting my blog do that to me. Worrying about perfection rather than just putting it out there. Well, enough of that.

Quick recap of the fall and Christmas:

I started my new position as a Literacy Coach/RtI Specialist---love it!

My sweet Mimi passed away after a beautiful 97 years with us. In cleaning out her closet, we discovered a quilt she started for me years ago before her eyesight and arthritis stopped her. Her quilts are a legacy, as she made them for so many of us over her lifetime. I used to spend time with her and Grandad every summer. We made a simple doll's quilt out of scraps together and it's one of my most favorite treasures. I'm on the hunt to find someone to piece this together for me. She even had a diagram all drawn out.

Fall and pumpkins came and went---too fast!

Christmas adventures were some of the best they've ever been! I really tried to focus on spending time with family. We continued old traditions and began new ones!

And because Daisy actually did NOT eat all the cookies...

Oh!!! And MY Cowboys made it to the playoffs!!!

David and I celebrated our 21st anniversary! How is that possible when I actually AM 21? Ha!

And while resolutions are not my thing, hopefully blogging more often will be...Happy New Year to you and yours!
