Happy New Year!

I had a great and relaxing holiday season and am now trying to get caught up on my blog.  I just thought i would pop in for a bit to share a project that i'm working on this year.  It's a 52 week project that i'm doing with a group of other photographers and will be posting my picture every monday (and will hopefully have links to the other photographer's photos when we figure out how to set it up :)).  I usually do a picture a day project which you can see at http://mbarbeau365.blogspot.com/
 (i'm a little behind updating it but hope to catch up this week).  I've found the picture a day too time consuming so this year i'm doing a few projects instead....the 52 week project which i'll share on this blog and an alphabet and a "glimpses project" which i'll share on my picture a day blog.  Now that i think of it, i may even be busier with 3 projects rather than 1!  :)

Here is this weeks theme "Newness":

We spent our holidays in Arizona this year (quite a change from our usual snowy Christmas) and everyone assumed my daughter was a teenager so she ordered from the adult menu in the restaurants.  She's still 12 but has grown a lot in the past year.  I'm with her all the time so don't notice it as much so it was strange to see her through other people's eyes.  I think this year is going to be interesting as we enter into a new stage of life as parents of a teenager.
