I've been converted.

For 23 years I have stubbornly refused to participate in countless social avenues I considered frivolous, namely: video games, J.R.R. Tolkien, daytime television, Pampered Chef parties, chatrooms, MySpace, scrap booking, and American Idol.

Given my slightly cynical outlook on technology and my elitist attitude toward anything "trendy," I naturally scoffed at the concept of a blog. (It too closely resembled scrap booking and I’m pretty sure it’s BFF with MySpace.) But, my friends, I have caved.

I am happy to admit that I have recently joined the ranks of the technologically savvy, the artistically fulfilled, the perpetually connected, blogging community. Plus, I have a hobby.

And I’m truly sorry if I’ve offended any fans of the items listed in the first paragraph. I still love you and I’ll never make fun of Gandalf to your face.

I am now officially inspired. If you, who also has a detest for "certain things" that don't need mentioning--but good job for mentioning :), can blog, then I sure as hell can too.

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
