Oh yes, I still have plenty of photos from last year to share… I am catching up here and there on editing and am also waiting to get some film processed- if I’m sending it off I like to do so in batches.
Manny had to work a lot around the holidays, so our celebrating [...]
Really, I am.
I’m not doing any work at all. {fingers crossed} ;)
We leave for Disney World in the morning, so I really will be on vacation for a few days, but I wanted to leave you these:
My first Christmas with a child, rather than a baby.
