What?! Last post? Yes, you read that correctly. But don’t fret, it only means that better things are to come. Starting tomorrow I will be blogging from my BRAND NEW BLOG! I’ll have a redirecting link tomorrow and it’ll be easier to remember, fo’ sho’.
You see, I started Tender Life a few months before I had Porter with the hopes of keeping up with family and friends once the wee babe came along. And this blog has done that really well. What I didn’t anticipate was how much I would enjoy blogging, which turns out to be a lot. I want to bring my blogging to the next level and open it up to a larger audience, because I have so much more to share.
Don’t worry, it will still include all the wonderful updates and pictures of my sweet family and all my previously written posts. The new blog will have more content about my own personal interests, be easier to use, and hopefully easier to leave comments on. After all, blogging is a form of social media, and if Blogger is going to make it difficult for you to leave comments then it’s not very social at all. New year, new blog. Rest assured, Porter will still be very much a part of it all. He is after all much of the inspiration.
For the final real post of Tender Life and of 2012 I want to share the top 6 posts of the last year, in case you missed out. I hope your 2012 was lovely and wonderful and everything you hoped!
What do you know? I’m even ticklish. In fact, I’m all livin’!
I am alive! What a neat thing to happen to a nice guy like me.

Porter’s first snowman!! Aptly named, Frosty.

For the last month, Porter has had a minor obsession with snowmen. We finally got enough snow and energy to build a small one in our front yard. He’s oddly shaped because the snow here is really dry and doesn’t stick very well. We ended up making 3 small mounds and letting them “gel” for a little bit and then stacking them. It worked like a charm!

Got snow spin?
Nobody can see you Olive.
We made our snowman double sided so we can see him from inside the house too.
Science kitty! Using a magnifying glass with lights.
This is actually a photo from a couple weeks ago, but a bird eating cake is pretty cool.

Also from a few weeks ago.
Tonight, however, we traveled home from our holiday visit to California. What’s been lacking from these posts is that Porter’s been REALLY sick for the entire last week. It started with fever and culminated with a horrible head cold and cough.
Normally it’s no big deal, but being away from home and massive altitude changes in an airplane caused him serious head pain today. Compounded with a late flight…made for a very long day week. Thankfully we made it home and he’s sleeping tight in his own bed tonight.
It was a wild and wonderful adventure to visit all the grandparents. We love them all and can’t get nearly enough of them. For those of you who have Grandparents who live nearby, give them hugs and tell them you love them. Life with children is always easier when OUR parents are around.

Continuing with the 12 trucks of Christmas, today Porter got a recycling truck. Complete with side sorting bins and the trailer that dumps accordingly.
