We have to keep an eye on the ipods around here. Leah thinks they are all hers.

January

Team Fulkerson has had a busy couple of months trying to orchestrate a move. Seven people, eight years-plus of accumulated stuff -- readying to move about five minutes up the road. We still have a few weeks to go before the big day, but when we look back at January 2011 we'll definitely remember purging, cleaning, the beginnings of packing...and seeing this in the front of what will be our new home. It was taken during a *brief* pocket of time around New Year's Day when we didn't have any snow. ;)

Some people are just more resiliant than others. More creative. More adaptable.

Take away Luke's markers...and he finds a pen.

Luke has loved the pre-move chaos so far. First, mom's distracted. That always works well for him. There are boxes everywhere. There are stepstools- normally reserved for painting- unfolded and at the ready. He's decided this beauty is his new dining seat. Lovely. I guess it does make our other furniture look better by comparison.

Dan and Leah have a nightly ritual. He likes to read for a few minutes before he goes to sleep.

Leah... helps.

January also marked the beginning of an era: Team Fulkerson now has a teenager. :) Emma's birthday photos didn't come out very well, unfortunately. We'll try to take more very soon. I didn't want to make this post without mentioning that big event.

Team Fulkerson hopes you all stay warm and safe during this winter storm!
