Remembering 2012 (Kinda)

Oh hi.
I thought about passing up a New Year's post, because, quite frankly, 2012 sucked balls and I want to just let it run its course without saying goodbye or reminiscing.

But...... then I saw my dear bloggy friend post this and had to join in.  Because I am a follower and just want to fit in with the cool folks.  I am not afraid to admit it.

January
Middle child turned 8
It was cold
Daughter decided that wearing swimming goggles in the tub was "cool". Who am I to argue with her???
That's all I remember.

Spent Mothers Day with my favourite Mothers.
Went to the zoo with my littlest monkey.
Was visited by a yellow bird many times.  I am convinced it was a sign from my Daddy.
