My desk in comic relief

My desk, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

I liked using Photobooth for this shot. It's a part of my MacbookPro and allows me to aim the little eye at the top of the screen toward any photo subject. I chose this effect because the only way to appreciate my messy desk is to laugh at it.

Caitrin takes on oils

Here's Caitrin with her new easel and first painting.

I said to her: "Be careful. You're getting paint on the easel."

Her reply: "Mom, it's an easel. It's going to be *covered* in paint."

Uh, good point. :)

Taking the challenge

A bunch of my friends are doing Project365 this year and I will attempt to join them with somewhere less than 365 photos, but with a hope to get more photos than less this year.

This is our family with the Christensens putting together our annual Christmas puzzle. We finished it together with Liam putting in the last piece. Featured in photo from bottom: heads of Jacob, Caitrin, Liam, Dotty, Johannah and Eva.
