Wow! Another year has flown by and--as per usual--I've been neglecting the blog to a shocking degree. So, to amend for my slackitude, I offer the "year in review" in reverse order (just to make things interesting).
1. Op's baby dedication ceremony. It was beautiful and PoKaL and Fud were very well behaved.

2. Crafty, crafty--a Lucy Bag I made for the charity holiday raffle at the Jr. High where I teach one hour a day. The gal who won it's husband put the thing on his head like a hat. I don't know if it was inspiration born of "spirits" but I felt he did not show the bag proper respect. That rapscallion.

3. More Crafty, crafty--In November, I had an AWESOME scrapbooking weekend with some of my very favorite people. Good company, good eats, and major productivity.

4. The Lakeshore Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (Gah--what a mouthful!) bought a new building. It's fabtastic.

5. Trains! Always lots of trains. We live in a train house around here.

6. (Even) more Crafty, crafty--Matching dresses for two of the cutest little girls around.

7. A little brotherly love. PoKaL, Fud, and Op usually get along really well. And then, there are those "other" times.

8. Crazy fun times with friends--gosh we are so "stupid busy" around here we never get to see our friends as much as we'd like to so we really have to make up for it when we do get the chance to get together.

9. Oh PoKaL!!! I don't know what I'd do without your crazy faces to entertain and amuse me.

10. Op was our newest addition in 2009. He's a lot bigger now and running around like he owns the place. He says, "uh-oh", "ma-ma", and Fud's name. It's very cute.

There was so much more but I'd be here all year uploading pictures if I let myself. So, I'll end with this year's attainable and reasonable resolutions:
* I will knit something (unfortunately--I finished neither sweater nor mittens this year--D'OH)
* I will finish my Master's program
* I will develop "negative calorie" chocolate
* I will only complain about grading and writing papers on odd-numbered days
* I will avoid "Made in China" as often as humanly possible
* I will write my legislators more frequently
* I will start writing Arne Duncan (yeah, I mean you Arne--Harvard and Semi-Professional basketball do NOT an effective Secretary of Education make)
