Let's Get This Party Started

We rang in the new year with a party at the Cal Academy.  There was a champagne and stingrays, a rainforest and a sweets bar, dance music and indoor snowfall, reindeer and Chinese food buffet, penguins and cocktails.  It was a fun night away from the old ball and chain (Julian is the ball, and Johnny - the chain :) 

I haven't been able to post here often because I started working on my book again.  My life now is pretty much the kids, writing, and trying to get rid of my back pain.  I like this new rhythm of no distractions, and I hope you guys are having a good January, too!
