Silly little man...

Jake did not want to go back to school this week. In fact, we had tears the night before. He asked me why he had to go. I told him that it was important that he play with other kids. I also told him that Mommy had work to do while he was gone. He said, "...but I won't bother you!"  Actually it was more like "boder" than bother. Fortunately we had no tears Monday morning. When I picked him up, he had tears about leaving school and heading home! I just shook my head at that one.

I was so proud of him over the weekend. He was playing with a chalkboard and called me over to see his spider.

Finally...a picture that actually looks like something. I was so excited!

I also want to include a few pictures from New Years Eve. We were invited to a party, but we stayed home since my cold and cough were hanging on. Dan made a great dinner...beef tenderloin. I was happy to have this time with my kids.

Those are roasted tomatoes and goat cheese. So yummy!

Jake stayed busy with his iTouch.

I put up a pink background in the studio for some senior pictures that I shot over the weekend (will share soon). Every time I put pink up, Jake asks to pose.

Fortunately the shots can be converted.

I just love the look on his face and the torn knee!

I can't elaborate because my daughter will disown me, but let's just say that kids really do grow up once they go off to school. It's nice to be appreciated.
