Happy New Year!

We can't believe how fast 2013 flew by! We have had a great year in our house and my new job as a preschool teacher is working out well. I had the longest winter vacation I've ever had and I loved every minute of it. I was supposed to go back to school last Thursday but thanks to the "Hercules" snowstorm, I had an extra two days of vacation. I read two books and have fallen in love with the Marblehead Public Library. I had fun with two of my new friends in town as we sipped wine at the Harbor Light Inn down in old town. We sat by the fire in big comfy chairs, something I would totally be up for regularly!

We celebrated the holidays in Needham and North Reading visiting family and eating great food as always. Our dog, Moxie, celebrated her first Christmas with us and we are so thankful to have her. We think about her spending last Christmas in a shelter in Arkansas and how content she seems as she settled into life with us here.

One of my resolutions this year is to be more active on our blog. I want to take more pictures and continue to create memories to look back on. We have many projects coming up this spring that I will share with you here. For now, here are some pictures from today. My dad gave us a bird feeder for Christmas and we noticed the bird food was disappearing but hadn't seen any birds. Today we finally saw them, the word is out and the birds are here! I snapped some photos of the birds and a few of Moxie (because really, how could I not). Until next time!
