2012 So Far

Happy New Year to all of you! We certainly haven't squandered any of our chances to play in 2012, as you will soon see . . . .

We've been very busy building life-size puzzles.

Experimenting with new camera angles and ways to "frame" our shots (ha ha).
Rocking the hair accessories that we received in our stockings - feathers rule!
Opening package after package of Wisconsin gifts that could not fit into our suitcases for the flight home.
Practicing our letters using uncooked rice and a stiff paintbrush (this lady draws a pretty mean M)
And working on our fine motor skills. (Holding a magic wand in our left hand only creates a bigger challenge and therefore more fun!)
Lastly, some of you know that we have gone gluten free in our home, which has been my biggest adventure of 2012. The kids and I have had a blast trying new foods and experimenting with ways to make our biggest portion consist of fruits and vegetables, making our fats and carbs merely sides. (Thanks to all of you, btw, who have lent me advice with this transition!)

Hope your 2012 is shaping up to be just as wonderful as ours!
