Happy belated new year! Here's January in a nutshell.

I thought that since today is the last day of the month I should post something. I usually manage the blog during nap time, but other interests have been keeping me entertained. I have read 8 novels this month, sewed 4 flannel baby blankets, applied for 3 different health insurance plans, and got multiple home and auto insurance quotes, shoveled mountains of snow, baked homemade whole wheat bread from scratch 2 times (including hand cranking the wheat into flour), finally took down Christmas decorations, although I haven't them out to the shed (I didn't want to brave the sub-freezing temperatures and foot + of snow), written in my journal, come up with an idea of how to organize a team for the Diabetes walk for a cure at Hogle Zoo this summer, and have acquainted myself with my new video camera. I am hoping I will learn how to post video clips soon, and the kids will make their debut. (Julie- any tips or advice? your videos are always good, and easy to view.)

Sorry to be so absent this month- I am trying to be a little more balanced.
