a not-so-brilliant post on january 4th

ok, so you know how when you need to return a call or an email and you keep putting it off because you are busy and then it turns into putting it off because you have put it off for so long that the conversation seems like it has to be giant and long and the longer you wait the harder it gets to make the call?
yah?
do you know?
or am i the only one that does that.
ok nevermind.
but wait, yes, that is how it feels sometimes when i've ditched blogging for a while.
like the next post just has to be brilliant.
ha.
so i am just going to break the ice and post some of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks.
they aren't brilliant.
but they are mine.
and i hope this will inspire me to get the ball rolling...

  3. My boys got those night vision goggles for Christmas too. They're pretty stoked about them! We used them to play a game on New Year's Eve and it was really funny for us to watch them try to navigate with them.
    Love the Christmas surprise :)
    And I'm glad your back! You've been missed in blogland!

  4. Ok your sister in the box? Brings back the memories. Thats how Eric proposed to me. He set up this huge scavenger hunt for me with poetic clues all along the way; the last one led me to this huge present which I kicked while reading the clue to see how heavy it was(I figured he was watching me from somewhere but I was dying to know what was inside). When I lifted the box, there he was in a suit with my ring, asking me to marry him. I almost passed out I was so shocked!
