… so fast? November, you left far too quickly too. Apparently it was Christmas a couple of weeks ago. How? It was only June yesterday and I was holding my newborn baby boy.

December, you flew past in a current of colds, flus and gastro.  And yet, things still seemed to get done; life’s moments kept happening. Leo still turned six months. Poppy still stood like a little statue on stage while her dancing class friends danced around her.  Presents still accumulated under the tree and Christmas orders still managed to be submitted. Even my (iPhone)  December  Photo Challenge continued to chug along, though my computer decided to take a little rest for a few days meaning posting got a little behind.  Being sick and caring for sick little ones has meant that a few things have had to give. Blogging for one. Some days of work for another. 

So January, could you just slow down a little please? Bring the tide back in at a leisurely pace and let me enjoy and absorb the first month of the new year. Let the coughs, sniffles and general grumpiness of our little family dissipate and go away without any further ado.

And to remind me that you, December,  last month of 2009, weren’t all bad here are a couple of my favourite December Challenge posts. When I committed to participate in this Facebook challenge I decided that the only way I could possibly achieve it was to strip away all of the things that could be an excuse not to do it. So, for me, it became My (iPhone) December 2009. All I had to do was snap a pic on my iphone everyday that reflected what you, December, meant to me. I managed to take a snap everyday. Posting has been somewhat more challenging due to my computer’s mini vacation, however, I am not so concerned with that aspect. Just to take a pic everyday for a month was a feat in itself…
