Family Camping in the Living Room

Reagan and Melita fast asleep.

While Katee was wide awake.

Melita danced in the long overdue rain.

February 2012

Happy 38th Birthday to me! I celebrated in San Francisco sans family.

While I was celebrating in San Francisco, Melita went to her first Quinceanera.

Melita and Violet show off their ballerina dancing while in bathing suits.

January 2012

Melita got a DIY castle for Christmas. It's amazing.

Melita's first self portrait in which she doesn't have spider-like arms and legs. She's learning proportions!

Castle Tower

Melita's first self portrait with Bungy

Bungy 0 Deer 1

(see the January 2008 post when Bungy took down a deer in the yard. 2012 was the year of revenge for the deer.)

Wound where the buck gored Bungy on his ribcage. Ouch.

Melita as Tangled.

Melita's first time to paint a self portrait.

So far 2012 has started off with a bang! Other things that happened that I don't (am not allowed to) have any pictures of: dear old friends coming to visit and then buying a house nearby which resulted in Melita hosting her very first slumber party ever and she was in heaven. She also got to take her new friend to the Farmer's Market one Saturday which was also super fun. We can't wait until this is a weekly occurrence rather than a sporadic event. Hurry up and get here dear old friends!
