January 2012 is a calm homey passage into spring for us this year. It’s atypical with it’s early flora, lack of cold or snow and major illnesses (albeit the round of sniffles have made their way through each of us) and lack of events or activities. Maybe it’s early nesting and resting in preparation for Sugarplum’s arrival, but I’m enjoying the routine of early to bed, early to rise, off to work and school and home again for evening cuddles each day.
