Here and There

Here

There

I really don't want to be here any more.  We'll be there in SEVEN days. 

The Funk

I've officially hit my winter funk.  Amazingly we have been spared the ridiculous amount of snow the east coast (and Kansas City) have gotten this year.  But I'm still in a funk.  It's cold, it's dark when I wake up, it's dark when I come home.  I'm dreaming of sun and warmth.

That is why in 22 days we'll be heading to the southwest for a long weekend (which just happens to be my birthday weekend)!  Top on my list of things to do is visit Taliesin West.  Chris and I will also be slipping away for the weekend...without James.

22 days can't pass quick enough.

Summer 2010 in South Haven, MI

let's go fly a kite

Hands down this was my favorite moment during our week in South Haven.  James flew a kite all by himself.  My heart swells with pride and awe.  How does one's heart take a lifetime of memories like this?

Leavin' on a jet plane

I had good intentions of doing a wrap-up of our Christmas and trip to KC this month. And to talk about the goals I have for 2010 (it's a big year, turning a decade older and all), and to see how I did with my goals in 2009 (does anyone remember what those were?).

But alas, it is already midway through the month, and as of 10:00 AM tomorrow morning I'm off on a business trip. To Helsinki. And Brussels. And Amsterdam.

So my blog plans will have to wait until next month. But I'll have lots to talk about!
