Little Girls Love....

Looking surprised...

Looking silly....

Looking sweet....

We got a new camera for Christmas (hence the sudden abundance of quality photos...) and until today Chloe has been tired of me snapping away at her. In fact, when we were visiting family I was sharing a bed with her and she started yelling in her sleep "no more pictures, Mommy! no more!". Lovely, huh? Well, today she didn't seem to mind my camera in her face!

A View From My Patio...

Although I find many faults with Southern California (no real weather change or differing seasons....) I have to say we do have some amazing sunsets. These were taken yesterday evening from our back patio (notice how far behind us our neighbor's houses are...pretty much unseen in these parts! Usually your neighbor's house is about 2.3 feet from your house....).

New Years is Overrated!

I've always kinda felt like all the hoopla surrounding New Year's eve was a little much for just another ordinary night. Yes, it's the end of a year, but really is January 1 much different from December 31?

Sure there's the resolutions (which in my opinion, are overrated as well, if you're going to make changes, just do it, regardless of what day it is!). There's the huge party in Times Square, but really, unless you're there, it's not much fun to watch. Then there's the whole staying up until midnight business....

You can do it anytime! In fact, come to my house in about 99 days and keep me company because I'm sure a little newcomer in blue will be having lot's of late-night parties!

I just don't get it. Yes, every year I think of "resolutions", but always go back to the thought that I can start something new anytime! And without all the pressure of having a "New Year's resolution".

What are your thoughts? Did you make any resolutions? Did you make it to midnight? (Ps. even if parent's make it to 12:00, kids don't really care the next day when they're up at 6:00, so you might as well hit the sack at at decent hour!)
