Happy 2012! I CAN'T believe it is 12 years past the millenium! I am looking forward to a new year and all that it will bring. I am hoping it's a good year but as long as we all remain healthy, I will be happy. Anymore, that's all I can say is important.
The last few weeks were a little tough with our little guy. He turned two and all of the sudden, he's is not going to bed for us, he started biting, hitting and just being very destructive and difficult to say the least. He's all boy but that's not going to fly where manners are concerned and with him being physical with other people. I have an arsenal of books to read and reread so hopefully we'll figure it out and find a way to communicate with him better. He's back to school and on a schedule again so I think that the excitement of his birthday and Christmas knocked him off the wagon a bit. He's been better the last few days and I am glad. It is stinking hard being a parent of a toddler.

| Our first meal of he new year! Sauerkraut, sausage, pork and apples - YUM!! |
 |
| Duke eating lunch at his new table! |
 |
| Trying to make a statement? It does get cold in his room so I am fine with him sleeping in layers :-) |
 |
| My first attempt at bokeh photography (the blurry lights in the background). Lots of fun and cool pictures you can take with Christmas tree lights. The drum was already laying on the floor and the animals or my son would not stay still long enought for me to take the picture so the drum it was. You'll probably see more of this throughout the year but not uless I figure out how to do it without the big Christmas tree up. |

| Duke is lapping up any extra ice cream he could get. |
 |
| Loving him some ice cream. |
 |
| I haven't taken many pictures of my other kids lately so I thought she looked cute laying on Duke's vest. She is still my little crazy sweetheart. She is my snuggler and my bed heater. |

| My sister, Megan, got me a whoopie pie cookbook and two WP baking sheets. I love to bake treats so I was excited to try these out! We have our cousin party this week so I thought I would try out a few of the recipes. They turned out pretty darn good and I have to say that the pumpkin with cream cheese filling and the chocolate with peanut butter filling are SO GOOD! The classic chocolate with marshmallow is good but the other two were SO GOOD. |
The first week of 2012 is not so bad so far. I am back to work next week and Jack only has 10 weeks of the Police Academy left. It looks as though 2012 is going to be one busy year for us. I am hoping to get in some resolutions but I think I will do it differently this year. I am going to set mini goals for myself throughout the year. Maybe one a month to break it up. Last year, I did get some needed organizing done. I didn't learn to crochet, which is still on my list. I just need the time. Still lots to organize too but I was happy with what I got done last year with all the bumps in the road here and there and with our crazy busy schedules.
Looking forward to a great year!!

Hang in there with the 2's. Been there, done that, and I will do it again. Just remember it does pass. I used to hate it when people told me that but it does. The good part is I barely remember the details of 2-3's. All I remember is the fun parts. God's way of conviencing you to have another. LOL!
