Starting a New Year

Happy 2014!

I got my husband a game of Laser Khet 2.0 for Christmas.  Grant - who learned chess two-ish years ago, but didn't pursue it much - has been playing it with him.  And winning, mostly.  I just learned to play this morning, but can't tell yet whether it is just right for me, or not at all.  We also bought a cool game called Code Breaker for Abbie, and played that last night.

Funny Abbie stories:

We were scrubbing the baseboards during/after painting a week ago, and I said, "Somebody sing something!!"  Abbie started singing, "Hard Knock Life."

So funny.

Just now I decided to make some tea, and Abbie wanted some, too.  As I was putting the kettle on, she started whistling "Tea For Two".

She really has an incredible musical memory.  And her art work is so ridiculously charming, too.  This is one of hers:

The shoe laces are my favorite, I think.

 



Whatever type she is...if she's a type, it's one I don't have much experience with.  She picks the trashiest friends....  I think it's time she became as much a priority as Grant.

My two bright babies.

This year, we will do great things for and with them.  Wait and see.
