Other 2012 Highlights
Since there’s no way I’m going to make posts about all of these things, here are some other highlights from 2012. We did move in 2012, but I’ll actually make a post about that!
It’s going to happen
I planned to try canning this past year, but moving fell right at the time I would can anything. So this year it is, and today marked the start. Here are my purchases of today: Large dusty canning pot (or whatever you call it): $3 at an insane estate sale. Box of 12 Le Parfait [...]

His hair really doesn’t bother me much, but it was driving him crazy. After a few weeks of regularly asking if he set up [...]
Swoop Be Gone…well sort of
For the last couple of months, Joel has been working on quite the swoop. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of it, but it was bothering him big time. Since Martha was having her baby, he didn’t schedule his next hair cut, which for Joel means, it will be a very long time until he [...]
