Pretend It's Still January

1/3
First day of Sunbeams.

He wasn't so sure about it all (and still isn't).
Justin was subbing another class that day, so he joined them until class time.
A couple weeks later he was begging to go to nursery for toys and playdough.
I told him he was too big and his very sad reply was, "But I'm SMALL!"

1/4
Sally got a cookbook for Christmas called Cooking Class. It's cute.
She made her own shopping list and does well with the recipes.
Favorites are breakfast parfaits and the berry smoothie.

1/4
I sold my old Canon and switched to Nikon.
The new camera is night and day better, but I still feel like a traitor switching brands.


1/16
Another case in point for how lucky we are to live here.
The scouts did a 17-mile bike ride along the coast one Saturday.

1/20
My yoga buddy.

1/26
Jasmine surprised Sally with matching outfits for twin day at school.

1/29
Spirit week continued with crazy hat/hair day.
Sally specifically requested 2 low, small pony tails with baby powder in her hair.
So crazy.

1/29
These two are funny together.

1/31
Took this for my mom since his school pictures were horrible.

Can I cheat and use this picture I took on "kindness" day?
(we did go to this same park on 2.20, just didn't bring my camera)

If I can't cheat, my "weekend" picture has to be this:
A dressing room phone photo taken while shopping for Easter and baptism dresses.

Apple Pie PSA

Came across Holly Berfield's @bookcooklook Instagram page and was totally inspired by it.

She reads a book, makes a dish inspired by the book, then takes a pretty picture.

(all 3 of these pictures are Holly's)

I told Drew, who had just finished another Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, about the project.

He immediately thought of apple pie because Greg and his family had gone out for some
in the book, and it ended up being the greatest apple pie of his life.

Now I am a decent baker, but have never been great at pies.

And apple pie, of all pies, is not my favorite.

But Grandma Ople's Apple Pie changed my life and I am now a believer.

Just in case you haven't come across this 7,000 person reviewed recipe,
