Happy Chinese New Year!  I am still stuffed from the Chinese banquet my family had last night, and probably ate a month's worth of meat in the span of 3 hours!  I think I need to eat a salad this morning for breakfast.  It was a festive occasion to be sure, we decided to celebrate everything at once- 5 birthdays and my cousins' newborn son Tobias being born on January 1!

January was a whirlwind of a month- been going through some unexpected transitions, but I'm so thankful to friends and family who have been so loving and supportive about everything.

Here are some previous recap sketches... hoping I can keep these up this year!
