Sunset From Eric & Andrea's House

We've started a new tradition of family dinners on Sunday nights. This week we went to Eric & Andrea's new house. This was what we saw when we drove up to their house!

Lily says.....

Lily is really difficult get dressed in the morning. It is tough getting her to eat breakfast. BUT, she started nursery school two days per week and she loves it. She was a model child on the second nursery school day -up early, dressed early and ate breakfast when it was ready. While Pam was helping her get dressed, Lily said "Mama, I'm cooperating!"

Lily was "serving tea" to Mary Lynn and me from her new kitchen set she got for Xmas. Across the room, Pam asked Lily what she did at nursery school that day. A moment of silence followed and Lily announced "I'm busy."

When Lily was at our house recently she told Mary Lynn to go to bed. Playing along, Mary Lynn got on the bed. Lily pulled a blanket on her and said "I'm going to check on you in a few minutes to see if your eyes are closed." (Wonder where she heard that - Lily is notoriously resistant to taking a nap.)

There Goes The Neighborhood

We spotted this house while looking for fixer-upers in downtown Tucson, love the big bottom underwear hanging from the front porch!!!

New Year Quotes

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.”

“A new year is unfolding – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.”

A New Year's Greeting

The Quecha Amerindians of the high Andes have a greeting which I think is also suitable for New Year's resolutions ;-) :
"Don't Lie, Don't Steal, Don't be Lazy."
