new year...last year

So, the new year gives us all sorts of chances for a new beginning, a fresh new start, a brand new me, and so on...what will this year bring?

Last year brought us a few "new"s:
We have a new little guy in our family.  Welcome aboard, Thelonious Ingram Price.
We moved back to Atlanta - mentally.  We very nearly moved out of state for work and CHOSE to stay here and keep building the community/family/place that we have/are here.  Nice.
We found a school for Julian, that helps him learn and grow how HE sees fit.  Huzzah!

Stella is continuing to enjoy her days at DeKalb Elementary School of the Arts, while I equally do NOT enjoy the non-fabulousness that is public education these days.  It is quite sad actually.  This is her second year there and the school has lost funding galore - there is no longer dance for the kindergarten, no art for the first grade, and don't get me started on the poor excuse they offer for drama for those grade levels.  I volunteer every week, but I am not sure how to make it a better place.
Julian is now 3.5, he started attending his own school in January and we all love it.  Stella told me the other day that she wishes she could go to his school.  Harvest Montessori = amazing.

Gram is 8 months old, crawling like a pro, cruising upright when he gets a chance, and working on tooth #4 this week.  At 26.5 pounds I think he might even be growing faster than JGP did.
