Happy New Year

So, I have a confession. I am a horrible procrastinator. Not much of a confession to those that know me IRL, because I have been like this since the day I was born. Many times I want to post a timely post like the one above and comment on the actual day, whether it be a holiday or the anniversary of a significant day for Fletcher. But, that doesn't always happen, so I either just skip the post altogether (what typically happens) or I stay up way too late to get my post in by the midnight deadline (which is what I did for Fletcher's birthday video).

That is a thing of a past now, because I have figured out how to beat the system, so to speak. I am sure the general public using blogger realized this from the get-go, but I just figured out that you can manipulate the time and date of your post. So, for those that check this somewhat regularly, you know I didn't actually post this on New Years Day. But, a year from now when I go to print this out, I won't know any better and it will be a nice timely post as far as I am concerned. Sneaky, huh.

By the way, the photo itself was taken on New Year's Eve. Fletcher was actually awake at midnight (after a couple of hours nap earlier in the evening) but, as he illustrates in this picture, insisted on chewing on the wrong side of the noisemaker. That's okay, his five-year-old cousin made enough noise for the both of them. Who knew five-year-olds were so interested in welcoming the New Year. This girl was ready to party (unlike the adults who were in bed as soon as possible after the ball dropped).
