Hitting the Highlights

Last spring the state incentivized government workers to hit certain health goals by offering cold hard cash.  I sunk the money into a wearable GoPro camera, and we've been playing with it ever since.  I think even writing briefs would look interesting through a fisheye lens.  We took far too much footage to cram into one video, but here are some of the highlights from the last year (including trips to Acadia National Park, Moab, Taos, Santa Fe and the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta).

Adulthood is still a slog, mostly, but we have our moments.

Kids Corner: By Lucy, Our Resident Maker

Hi! Lucy here! What you're seeing now is some paper outfits I made from a kit made by KLUTZ. This was my first dress.
It was so much fun to look at all the different patterns, trace them, cut them out, and glue them together!
This one is my favorite! I was surprised how good it turned out!
Here's a photo of every single one I made!
    I like that pattern on the dress. I also like the orchids in the background.
This is the purse/clutch I made. Flowers are so fun to make!
This quilt took me months to make, but it was worth it! I gave it to Sage for Christmas!
I added her name at the top. I'm so proud of myself for making it!
For my tenth birthday I got yet another KLUTZ kit! Puff ball animals. Make the puff balls yourself! This is Cecilia the skunk! As you can see, Holly, my cat, got to her.
Holly got to Spice too, but you can't really tell.
I also like to cross stitch! This was my first one.
This is my second. I'm working on a third, but it's ten times bigger then these two. I'm not kidding!
This is a doll I made for Nora when I was little. She named it "Dolly."
I got a pokemon X game. I chose fennikin as my starter. I drew fennikin and all its evolutions.
This is a picture of a pony fan fiction called Nightmare Rarity. It took a long time to paint!
This was from last Christmas. I make some every year.
This picture is called sea swirls. But now I think you've had enough of my awesomeness. See you next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honeyversary -- Ten Days, Eleven Pictures

Recreating one of our wedding pictures from nearly 16 years ago. Until now, we hadn't been back to that same temple.

One short, sweet day of catching up with loved ones.

S. and his sister, making marathon memories together.

Looking out over Canyonlands National Park.

At 'Park Avenue' in Arches.

Our unusual digs in Moab.

The most amazing place we've ever stayed. This one-bedroom, one-bath house supplied its own water, electricity, and passive heating and cooling, and was gorgeous and comfy to boot. Serious off-grid luxury.

Contemplating the 400-year-old San Miguel Chapel.

Yes, we did! This one's been on S.'s bucket list forever, and it was even more wonderful than we had hoped.

On top of the world at almost 11,000 feet in the Sandias.

Finally, the Balloon Fiesta, packed with hundreds of hot-air balloons going up all around us.
We're glad to be reunited back home -- now we just have to make a new bucket list! 
And save up money for 16 more years...

A BIG shout-out to the families who made it possible by taking our four kids, during the school year, for over 10 days.
