Beginnings

Last Saturday was the Gateway Martial Art's tournament  and this little boy won silver in his age and belt division. He's only a white belt, but he couldn't stop staring at his silver metal. I kept thinking "This is only the beginning." 

Cookies and Smiles

I love baking, and I love making people smile. 
Cookies make people smile.

Making up for Lost Time

Long time no see.

Change of plans.

Due to the lack of a real computer and the limited time I have access to a laptop, I've decided to change this to weekly updates, and just post photos throughout my week, making sure to take a photo everyday.

With that said, he's a boat load of pictures, in no particular order, to make up for the lack of photos. Don't hate me.

Me in the city I love - Chicago
No, I did not take this picture

The dance company that took the trip to Chicago last weekend
I love these people
And I didn't take this picture either

It's all fun and games

Until someone wipes out
Then it's hilarious

Friendship Bracelets

And so it begins. My sister is making friendship bracelets for her boyfriend. I remember making tons of these for my current boyfriend, and I just think it's sweet that my sister has adopted this. She asked if it would be a good Valentine's Day present, and I told her yes. She also told me how she found a pattern with hearts on it, and I told her no, a guy does not what to wear a bracelet with little hearts on it. I suggested the color combination of red, black, white, and grey. Today she made Grandma take her to the store to purchase "manlier colors" and proceeded to whip out 5 bracelets by the time she was in bed. 

Tru wuv. 

Sunday Naps

William had the right idea this afternoon. He snuggled himself right up on the recliner and took a little nap. He looked comfy, at least. 

Merry Christmas William

Grandpa Phil finally came up for his annual Christmas visit. We all got our Christmas presents, though you could almost call them Valentine's, since it is less than a week away.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.
