A year or so ago.

Here's Jude a year ago. It's hard to believe he was ever that little. He's starting to require two arms when you hold him, and lifting him and his blankie out of the crib is not as easy as it once was.

Hmmm...I seem to have needed a haircut a year ago, the same as I do today. It was a beautiful day here too, again same as last year.

And here's our little banana today. I think all those bananas are starting to add up. Jude is getting a tummy on him. My friend has a great saying for when kids are growing, they call it spaghetti and meatballs, spaghetti for when they are stretching out and meatballs for when they are fattening up for the growth spurt. I can't say I ever remember my "spaghetti" stage, maybe it's still coming.

Well we accomplished what we said we would this weekend. The garage is all cleaned out, the decks are winterized and the Thanksgiving turkey fat has been disposed of. (One of the yuckiest things I've done in a while, yes yuckier than dirty diapers.) It feels good to have it all done.

Here's hoping you accomplished all your goals this weekend!
