Happy New Year!

Wow!  What a turd I was at posting last year...  I plan to do better this year, and am shamefully bribing you for your forgiveness with holiday photos of the Skeeter-man.  Am I forgiven?

O man, he certainly is a cheese!  I needed some pictures for a craft project, but he was just standing there all stiff and formal.  I thought maybe I could loosen him up a bit by asking for some "silly pictures," and that really let the genie out of the lamp.  As you can see he really got into it. Then he managed to grab the camera and started taking pictures on his own.  I let him snap away, and later deleted 3 very unflattering pictures of myself, 5 of his fingers (over the lens,) 7 of the tree, 4 of the TV and 14 pictures of play-dough.  Yep, nuthin but play-dough.  I'm seriously thinking he needs a little digital camera of his own when his birthday rolls around this summer.  On the one hand it feels a little "expensive"for a five year old, but than I remember all the film and developing my mom paid for when I got my first camera, and it doesn't feel too extravagant anymore.  Seriously, how many pictures of the same cat, out of focus and blurry does one kid need?

I have some big, scary/wonderful news to share soon, but right now I have to fly to the grocery store and by apples and soy milk.  Ta!
