trial and error, error and trial

So I've been trying to figure out how to make my own header (the title of my blog.) I've been playing around on Photoshop much too long today and the header is still not fixed. But I did figure out how to do this:


One small step for me, one giant step in the world of blogging. The only other productive thing I did today was make sure that they all had clean underwear for their first day back to school from Christmas vacation.

through a child's eyes

Adam and I were driving down the road through a very industrial part of town. You know the areas...railroad tracks, dirty buildings, ugly sheet metal near and far. We drove by a row of smokestacks when he announced, "Look! There's a cloudmaker!"

Look who we found on the top of Matt's bunkbed this morning.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout?

puzzled

One of our traditions on New Year's Eve is to eat shrimp. Lots and lots of shrimp. Mmmm, mmmm, good!

We also do a puzzle as a family. We usually do a new one each year, but since we liked this one so much we're doing it again this year.

Since you're not here with us, we're having a contest.


First one to tell us what this puzzle is about wins a prize.

No shouting out! Just post a comment, please. Since this is our first contest, we thought we'd make it worth your effort. The prize is a Sonicare toothbrush (unused, of course!) If you've never used one, your mouth doesn't know what it's been missing. The best thing since sliced bread. Sure bliss. Heaven on earth.

No kidding.

Have a happy new year, ya' hear?!
