I looked for new places to photograph but was frustrated by shade and dangerous roads and a lack of the right music. Chocolate whip cream to the rescue.

One day she fell in love with this ball. She finally decided to walk, and she's off.

Terrific light but trapped inside. I took a photo out the front door. Taking a big camera and a 14-month old out in -20 would be tricky.

He's been on my case to make him oatmeal raisin cookies. I think a cookie's not a cookie unless it's chocolate. But I love him, so...

One of her first masterpieces. Today we coloured for the second time, with much greater success (less eating of crayons). She likes to watch the fire. 

We've had SO much snow lately. I like the clean, white look, much more than the part snow/part dirt look previous. Our neighbour generously snow-blowed our driveway.

This daily photo project is not off to a good start - I already forgot one day. Well, actually I took videos instead, so here are some stills.

Pink pom-poms still up in the dining room since her first birthday (November). She wants us to blow so that they move.

For the third year in a row I will attempt to take a daily photo. But this year, when I forget, I will simply carry on.

I'm so glad we didn't get around to hanging the mirror. She loves looking at the funny baby in the reflection.
