I'm still here...

I know it seems like I have disappeared...no posts and all that, but I am still here. We enjoyed a nice week in TN after Christmas and this week has been dedicated to getting back into a scheduled groove. I feel like I have been busy, but I don't know what I've done. Mmmm... anyway.

I have wanted to post lots of pictures in a slide show, but for some reason my computer crashes every time I try. So, over the next few days I will post several of the best from the end of the year and Christmas. Here are some other things going on right now.

• I started another blog:Charity Writes.
• Our family has started training for the CM 1/2 Marathon in April. Nathan and I have already signed up, and if the girls train with us up to the 10 mile point we will sign them up too.
• I do have recipes lined up to post in the next week or so on the Food Blog.
• The kids are back in school! Yay!
• I've started "pre-school" with Cole (he actually sits for 30 minutes at a time!)
  
• I start revising my book again next week.
  

See it doesn't look like much, but I feel busy. Ok, here is a batch of photos in random order.

Painting the week before Christmas

Playing in the icy rain. Notice Ashlee's gangsta pose?

While I was teaching my last cooking class, Cole made a mess and then fell asleep.

Kiah uptown Charlotte. We went to see the lights and the singing bears in the B of A Corporate Building.

Yet another gangsta pose. What is up with that?
