organizin'



down time.  yessssssss. 

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.  the period of time right between christmas and new years.  it is the time to prepare for a whole new year.  how great is that?  fresh slate!  new, new, new!  

i have eli in his room right now going through all his clothes, weeding out the "too small" items.  then he will begin a resolution list {9 goals, now that he is 9}.  i have a list a mile long to complete before january 1st.  it will get done.  the last few days i have been transferring ALL of my photos onto a hard drive so they are nifty and neat and very accessible.  while i have been doing this i found this little gem tucked away in the 2005 photos/vids.  i had just flown into LA.  emily and doug were living in encino at the time.  the boys were 3 or 4ish.  cute and chubby.  emily and i decided to make a trip to the sherman oaks {?} costco.  hot weather + mid afternoon = slobbering in a cart at costco.  i love how he was looking for someone to cuddle up with at the end.  

hilarious.  
now, GET OFF YOUR DUFF AND GET READY FOR 2011!!

It is so super annoying to me that you are able to upload videos to your blog. Why won't it let me? Is there a trick? Or are you just the favourite??

I love the vintage 2005 movie of Eli and Owen. You must keep that along with the Ida sleeping on the horse movie. Priceless. Love you all. - Grandma Kathy
