Two blog posts in a week! I'm on a roll. January came in and out in a blur, but a good blur. January was a productive, energetic and happy month. When you live in snow country, that is saying a lot. Of course, January was mild compared to our February weather so maintaining my enthusiasm for winter has been a challenge.
January highlights:
Completing: {well, almost completing} three journaling projects that have been hanging over my head for months
Racing: Pinewood Derby cars (three this year)
Reading: The Interestings (**), Lean In (***), The Goldfinch (**), Where'd You Go Bernadette (****), The Tiger Wife (in process)
Traveling: first work trip of the year under my belt and my second one planned
Recovering: from the shock of the cost of having two kids in braces before the end of the year.
Decluttering: coats, mittens, gloves, socks
Collecting: all the books for Ella's Battle of the Books Challenge
Planning: an exciting overseas adventure in May
Reserving: all the Academy Award nominated movies
Remembering: a fun first ski weekend in Vail
Finding: a library book that has been missing for a month
Celebrating: Nick getting a new job
Wondering: how two of us working from home will shake out
Enjoying: Frozen, the Broncos, Uncle K's ski visit, girl scout cookies.
Moving: a lot. I kicked up my exercise routine. The kids joined me with Cross Fit and Nick has been
working to implement a new workout routine as well.
Growing: through drama/musical after school clubs
Mapping: our summer travel and camp adventures. it's hard to believe it is already that time of year.
Exploring: Denver at our first family outing to the Nuggets game
