Wait a second- where are my manners!
Happy new year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas time / holiday etc. We had a lovely quiet Christmas.

:)
what other wonderfulness have I missed out there!? I have been enamoured with british colombia since we got married out there in 2007- wow!

view from here

A teensy view of a map I got to draw this fall, mercifully, when I really needed the money.  You can click to see bigger, it's downtown Toronto for a magazine called "downtown steps" that I can't seem to find online mysteriously.  It was nice because I didn't have to do anything like it really is, just fill in the space.  I did make sure to add the major things - City Hall, Art gallery of Ontario, Sky Dome, CN Tower - but otherwise just a scattering of little buildings- fun!

I still need some money, anyone else need a picture drawn of something?

I aim to post more often but alas, you mothers out there understand how hard that can be.  When I do get a chance, I am too tired, etc.  Finch is 8 months old today , if you go month by month.  I had been going by 4 week chunks, making him 9 months on January 19th, but now I am confused. Surely by one year , you lose the weekly thing and just go by month, but now I don't know how old he really is!  Is he 8 or 9 months, gosh darnit?  Either way, he is very cute and sweet.   I am a lucky lady.  He's learned to clap and wave, is sitting up nicely, can "crawl" backwards and in a circle, and says mamama dadada nanana wehwehweh and likes to turn the page when I read a bedtime story.
