The New Year always brings a sense of anticipation and a little bit of wistful {from me} about another year passing us by. I am certain that we just had teeny tiny babies in our teeny tiny house and none of that is true anymore. We're about to celebrate a 9th birthday and 6 is quickly morphing into sixteen. I don't know what 2011 will bring, but there is always something to smile about around here.
Ten Things to love about January
Fresh starts
Sunny Sundays that felt more like July than January
Quiet moments where I find my two being sweet
without being asked
An unexpected chance to spend time with far away family
Cousins who are growing up together
Getting some serious girlfriend time
More than once
Finally turning in The Athlete's Indian diorama after begging him to stay focused working with him on it
ALL.MONTH.LONG.
Helping them stay close to their Grandparents - even 3,000 miles away

| So proud of his Granddaddy's USMC uniform ca. 1968 |
Getting a glowing report from The Princess' teacher on her reading, her writing, her eager class participation . . .
I guess if she's going to show off somewhere it might as well be school!!!
Cozy nights at home when even the dogs look happy
::aaahhhh::
Today is the day that EmmyMom links us all up for Ten Things. You do it, too!

What a wonderful post! I love when my kids are sweet without being asked also :) Lately they've ben holding hands in their car seats a lot, warms my heart. Love your puppies cuddling too!
Awww, those are great pictures!! I love it!
Wonderful list as always! That diorama is awesome! It does look like a lot of work. And so good that you had girls nights, we really do need those
That is an amazeballs diorama! Isn't the weather crazy? It was 78 degrees on Saturday in my lovely state of Oklahoma and then today we have a BLIZZARD. I'm not even kidding.
I love the pics of all the cousins. We have lots of baby cousins too and I hope they all grow up together!
Aw, I love your list! And I am jealous of the warm weather. Today may possibly have been the coldest day of the season. Brrr! And that diorama is amazing.
Love the photos and the list...happy new year, indeed!
