Whoops!

Did I really write “crisp but not cold temperatures” in that last post?
Uh, sorry about that, rest of CA. Just to show how wrong I can be, we’ve had below-freezing temperatures at night for what seems like FOREVER (but is at most two weeks). Houses here just aren’t built to handle the cold. Single pane windows and zero insulation means brrrrrrr.
Jacob doesn’t mind, so much. We’re still walking during the day, and we have finally gotten off of the waiting list (*boggles*) at the local Gymboree-type place. So we’re also going to the Padded Room of Toddler Heaven a couple of times a week. It’s called “Tots in Motion”, and it’s basically a big open space filled with padded little tubes, ramps, mazes, and trampolines. He has a blast, and I’m meeting other mothers. It’s really, really nice.
I’m generally not much for new year’s resolutions, but this year I’m striving for a better balance between being mom-Amy and me-Amy. When your “job” is with you 24-7, it’s surprisingly easy to lose sight of everything else, and I struggled with that a little bit last fall. I’m spending a lot of time knitting, and meeting other adults through that, which is really nice. And I’m getting more serious about photography, which I hope to turn into a small business. If you’d be willing to be a model for some sessions (or loan out your kid for same) to help me get better at portraiture, please let me know!
…and I leave you with a cute picture from our trip back east. Here’s me and my nephew Zachary, the other absolute cutest kid in the universe.
Hope you’re well!
He is so cute. Balance is a good thing.
