Kindle Reading...

Well, it took me a year to decide, but I finally realized, it was the Kindle over the Ipad. (I simply wanted a reading device, if I want to surf the web, I prefer a laptop.)

I always thought nothing could replace a book in my hands, but the first time I actually held this device, I was sold.

After charging all afternoon, I took my new Kindle to MCD's. Sitting by the fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa, I downloaded my first two books. Easy, inexpensive, and portable beyond words.

I'm very much a stick in the mud about new things, but look at me...stepping into a new year with fresh ideas. Very cool. :)

Our Tween...

Our baby girl has exactly one year until she becomes a teenager! :) Her present of choice for her birthday, these cool hot pink shoes! She was very specific on exactly what kind of shoes she wanted and we went from store to store until she could find them. Now, if that isn't a teenager (soon to be), I'm not sure what is. Thank you to everyone for their birthday cards that all arrived! She is adding the cards to her diary and going shopping today for new jeans to go with her new sneakers. :D

(Special shout out to Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Andrea, Ian, Sawyer and Gavin...thank you for the card and money...loved it! from, Alex) :)
