Setting aside the fact that “blogiversary” is kind of a lame word, it was a year ago today that I made my first rambling, enigmatic blog post.  My first surviving post, anyway, following an episode of self-correction.  I’ve changed names twice, had a major redesign, and continually tweaked my mission, vision, goals, and focus (yes, I have those things, sort of).  Pretty much the only thing that’s stayed the same is the sometimes-forged 11:11 timestamp.  But I think I’ve very nearly gotten things figured out at this point, even if it sometimes turns to self-indulgent posts like this one.

To celebrate what is clearly a momentous occasion, I’m decorating this space with artwork from the girls, made using Tux Paint.

I Love Flowers by Geraldine

Ms. Geraldine, by the way, got a student of the month award from her school for November.  Not one of those obligatory “you’re all special” awards, either.  When I asked if she did anything special to earn the award, she told me she always raises her hand.  I’m going to go ahead and be a proud parent and assume it’s just a little more than that.
