Who is this kid?

Since January 20th, I have noticed a change in Jaina's reading habits......

Before January 20, here are the titles of the books she brought home to read:

Fancy Nancy - Delectable Cupcakes
Popcorn
Fancy Nancy - Heart to Heart
A Present for Grandfather

Notice something?  No, nothing of note really....

But since January 20th, the list looks like this:

Washington D.C.
New York
Pochahontas
The Four Oceans
Mexico
Amelia Earhart
Clara Barton
Great Lakes
Niagra Falls
Mae Jemison
Rocky Mountains
Masschusetts
And Mike's personal favorite...... FOG

Someone has decided she LOVES non-fiction.

Wow.

Yep, she's my kid.

Operation save Henry.

We have a problem. His name is Henry.

He is a sad little African violet. I inherited him from darcy. Actually I inherited him from Steph. Who got him from darcy

And my violet, Lucy is doing very well in her new home. See how happy she is?

But Henry is sad. And sad flowers don't like to grow. So Henry moved with me. And we will see. Steph's office (or cubicle really) is so cold. So we will hope. Climate change helps Henry. I will keep you posted

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Blog world! 

The Groen family is jumping into 2012 with both feet.

Our Holidays were fantastic. 

Jaina asked Santa for one thing..... Cowgirl boots.   And Santa delivered....

And Jackson re-fell in love with cars, and trucks, and pretty much anything else that has an engine.

And more at home :)
