last day of 2012



We’re celebrating the east coast NYE tonight because who can stay up past 9:30 after the age of 35?  We’ll be playing games with my parents and eating sandwiches.  If you’d told my 16 year-old self that this is how I would spend my new year’s eve, I probably would have slapped you.  But I’m firmly middle aged now and this is exactly what I want to do (or spend time playing scrabble with D and M, but they’re out of town).  This year was officially the best ever because it’s the year of the birth of my water dragon (Theo).  I don’t have any super ambitious resolutions for 2013--mainly just to be nicer to the people around me and make hard copies of all my digital photos (digital entropy fears again).

Some highlights from 2012:  Theodore, my parents moving to CA, working with people I really like, 6 months of maternity leave, Natan's paternity leave all fall, learning how to make a budget, embracing the downtown lifestyle (walking to cafes, stores and swings).

Present wrapping styles this holiday season (IKEA sold a tree cookie wrapping paper that was the best):


 Picture of me and Theo in the Olympic National Park over the summer.  We saw a deer.
 I love this baby (even when he is resisting photos):  Lake Tahoe last summer.
