a new year

to ring in 2011 (that feels so weird to write!), i figured i would unveil my personal favorite family picture from our cross-canada/u.s. adventure.  i just love children.  we're sitting in front of freaking NIAGARA FALLS...one of the natural wonders of the world/top honeymoon destination/something most people don't get to see in their lifetime...and my kids are chasing pigeons.  and whining.  and playing with the stroller buckles.  and refusing, no outright rebelling against even looking at the water.

and so, we embrace our fate.  and while cliff and i have our little romantic moment under the double rainbow, our children can do whatever they please...including playing dead.  because we are at niagara falls, for goodness sake.

happy new year, everybody.
