Film Friday: Life in 2011, Part One

Thank you for all the well wishes we received for Nora, especially on Facebook after I posted about this morning’s other scary first — her first bloody nose.  I’m happy to report that, besides that incredibly frantic wake up, today was a much better day.  Nora is still coughing, but is mostly back to her normal playful self and clearly on the mend.  We’re thankful the seriousness of her first illness was short-lived and for all of our caring friends and family members.


You may remember one of my New Years resolutions was to actually do something with the videos I take.  I’m hoping to post a video every Friday in a new feature called “Film Friday” inspired by a blogger I love, Gregarious Peach.  This first video is part one of a look at our life in 2011: January through March.  At first I thought it might be hard to whittle down our footage to a short video, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought…and there’s something to be said for video in high speed!

I hope you enjoy this new feature (and I hope I can keep it going!), as well as this reminder of how much changes in a year.  While watching the videos from last January, I was most struck by the difference in Nora’s language abilities between then and now.  Then, she was still saying single words and now it’s full sentences and stories!  Oh, where did the baby go?

      Thanks to you and Errol for visiting and commenting! We do enjoy the snow, but it’s a rare thing out here in the ocean. Not enough for sledding, but still fun. The way things are going this year, we aren’t going to get any snow I don’t think. ๐Ÿ™

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
