Taking the New Year by Storm

    This past month has flown by. We had family for the first two weeks, and class sorting, book buying, application finishing, studying and exams for the last two weeks. We tackled a huge project this Saturday - we cleaned out and reorganized the nursery closet. Oh my! Two hours and Two boxes full of goodwill items later, the closet was cleaned, the broken toys thrown away, and everything labeled and organized. It feels great to step into that room now! And no more bracing ourselves against the possible attack of loose piles of items waiting from behind the closet door. If only a backyard that needs major TLC and reorganizing took about two hours. (I think ripping up the overgrown weeds, grass, shrubs, and other items alone took over six hours.) And did we mention that we're going to have below freezing weather for the next week. The backyard project is going to have to wait.
