to the New Year

Ahh, It feels truly refreshing to be entering a new year. It seems that just simply starting a new year puts the idea of "new" in every part of out lives out here in Colorado. After returning from MN Land of the truly crazy..those who love the COLD and I mean COLD temps and grey days...there sure are a lot of wonderful people willing to stick it out! what is the secret..i have lost it!!!

Anyways, we are back and full of fresh starts. Cedar just went to his first day of "school." for better lack of words..A cute little home with Ms. Red who has been working Waldorf style for over 10 years with little ones. I was impressed..no tears, no hanging on the leg...just a quite Cedar ready for a new adventure! And he liked it..from the sledding to baking bread, painting, circle time (singing, dancing, stories, calendars) to snacks the time flew and he is ready from more next week!! He said "I was a little shy, quiet when you left" but from a friend who visited that day she said he was anything but shy by an hour into it!

As for Orien the life of a 20 month old is full of "NO, MINE, More" to pick the top 3! Tough he does talk non-stop with Cedar around..he missed Cedar on school day but was excited to head to Music..where he is anything but shy! Watch out world cause Orien is full of energy and loves to flirt his way through all social events!!

As for me..well just trying to find a new groove...attempting to get outside everyday with the kiddos on walks, hikes, skis whatever the weather brings! Fresh air can really out be in good spirits. Also trying to work on the boys scrapbooks..(something to be leery of ever starting!!), working out at the gym for some "me" time..and preparing for the babe..who will already be here in around 4 months!! And the biggest ,practicing patience and calmness in days of craziness!! So there youy have it..Cheers to a new year!
