Working on it!

So with my new internet provider--I'm happy to report this whole blog thing is rather easy. My goal this year is to post once a month with something fun, up-beat and what's going on in the curtis clan. So this post is the first of hopefully 12 in the new year.

I'm happy to report we are doing well around here--still getting over the colds of California just after Christmas but the coughing all night has ended. We are still working on organizing Christmas decorations, spring cleaning everything but in January and just getting everything in its place from last month.

My christmas present to my parents has been a long and fun task in which I hope to complete by Friday. I've been putting together a blurb book 2009 of all my siblings and parents. Everyone has sent me 45 photos of last year and about a 2 page word document of their comings and goings of 2009. Its been really fun to see everything--everyone has done. The reason its not totally done is we traveled to California the sunday after Christmas and spent a week running to disneyland, the beach, lego land and San Diego. I've decided since I haven't sent the book that we should add a few more pages of christmas and the trip. I love a good project--right?

I'm still getting my pictures organzied from the trip but here are a few from Newport beach. Check out Cate running crazy!

Syd couldn't seem to find enough shells in the sand and Lily just didn't know what to think of the sand. Love my girls and the beach. ***Goal***get back to the beach for a week in the sun. In the meantime I'll keep working on getting organzied and someday have a hard bound book of each year of our lives right? One of my favorite pics from the trip!

YEAH! Highspeed makes the world of a difference. I love the picture of Chris and Lilly, very dramatic. I hope my e-mail helped on where to find cute digital scraps for your book. You can call me anytime. I can't wait to get inspiration from your completed book. Blogging is a sinch and you are providing me entertainment so thank you for picking it up again.

YEAH!!!!!!!! I second Melinda and cannot wait to see monthly photos, as I am sure Anna would love to see photos as well. (you saw last night how much she loves and misses her cousins!) I will get the rest of my photos to you tonight (when I have Dave's computer with the photos on it). Love you sis!

P.S. I love the name of your blog and love photo with Snow white. I have one phrase for you... "oh (think of it in a high pitched princess voice) did you pick that flower from your garden?) referring to Anna's flower in her hair!
