Happy New Year, Folks! I hope you find that this year will be full of fun learning ideas for you and your family.

My husband had the last two and a half weeks off in December. We didn’t do anything special, as in terms of going anywhere that is. We stayed home and simply enjoyed each other as a family. We didn’t do any formal learning, unless you consider video game critiques and movie evaluations learning. Okay, we didn’t watch movies and play video games the whole time, we also played in snow, talked with each other, cleaned, oh and we got sinus/cold gunk.

First week of January 2012 and we are slowly getting back into our routines. We stayed up late each night and slept in each morning (unless we had an appointment). I’m finding it a bit hard since it seems the MS related fatigue and weak legs have made an appearance as of late. I’ll overcome it soon (hopefully) and things will be almost normal around here, for our standards anyway. Oh, and in case your wondering, no, I have not made any resolutions – I stopped doing that years ago. I am getting a bit anxious to completely delve into our learning though. My mother bought the kids art supplies; pastels, paper, crayons, watercolors, markers, and so the kids have been using them. I’m glad they are all creative and they all love drawing, coloring, and creating.
