Week 1

I'm back.  I seemed to have quit blogging for the last few months.  It felt good at the time but I realized I was not happy about not having a place to record special memories.  I am ashamed to say I hardly picked up my real camera in November and most of December.  So, here I am, back in blogland.  Hoping to pop on each Sunday night with a quick photo of two capturing something special (or not) we did that week.  Words may be at a minimum because that is the hardest part of blogging for me.  Hopefully I still have a reader or two (Grandmas and Grandpas, I suppose).

On New Year's Day, we took the kids ice skating.  We attempted to go ice skating last year, and it didn't work out.  This year, though, was a blast.  Punky had so much fun that she was in tears the whole way home.  She loved it so much, she didn't want it to end.  She picked it up quickly and was skating on her own after an hour.  Buddy enjoyed skating, as well.  He was fearless!  He had the most fun when we let him take his skates off and run around the rink in his shoes (like our neighbor boy was doing).  Punky has been asking when we are going to go back.  Maybe we'll have to get them in lessons.  Hockey, no.  Ice skating lessons, sure.
