So we finally got around to buying a new camera which means maybe I'll start blogging again. I just hate blogging without pictures. I need a visual. In past years January has been the month when I make homemade doughnuts to get me through the grey, cold days after Christmas (because really I can't think of a better pick me up then deep fried sugary goodness). When we lived in Alaska I made a huge batch - the kind where you use real potatoes in the recipe (so good) and then ate them all and made my pregnant self sick. This year I made the annual batch of doughnuts on New Years Day - before everyone made those resolutions, before we left the coldness of Utah (therefore denying me the opportunity to eat 63 doughnuts myself) and headed down to the reason I love it here - sunshine year round.
A thus we have been taking a whole bunch of these kinds of pictures.
There have been just the right amount of cold rainy days.
Enough to make us enjoy playing with each other at home.
Enough to let us concentrate on our budding artistic talent.
Enough to let us curl up and read some good books from the library (hence the messy playroom - when reading all else comes to a stand still) while waiting for yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to bake (pumpkin for Zina, chocolate chip for Wilson).
Enough for us to actually turn on the heater in the mornings.
And enough for us to be just happy when the rain stopped.

My dad and Arlene are considering wintering down in Arizona. I support it wholeheartedly. I miss the sun so much. I'm so glad that you got a camera. I've been missing your blogs. I just finished applying for Raven's school. I know she's way too young it makes me sick. I only applied to one so if she doesn't get in this year I won't feel too bad.
Very, very envious of your sunshiny days! Hazel told me the other day that she doesn't remember what it feels like to go outside without a coat or shoes or nothing on! :) LOL! I kind of agree with her. Just enough warmth to go for a walk . . . I'm glad that you all have been having fun and I hope that you're feeling good too.
I love the very last picture with you reading in your apron and Zina dressed up! Perfect!
You guys are cute! what book are you reading there? Those couches look good in your playroom!
