January 2015 is usually such a long and cold month. This time of year is when I typically take the least photos, uninspired by the drab landscape and bored of the white of the snow.
Yet, this January, things were a little different. Someone new to photograph? Someone new to cuddle and love? We got a puppy!!
I’d like you to meet Charlie – the new baby in the house. He was born on Nov 1, 2014 and came to live with us last week. Doesn’t he have the cutest little face ever?! Yep, he’s got us all by the heart.
So, January consisted of a lot of dog-discussions {though the hubby and kids have been working on me for years}, consideration, researching, and searching – then, end ending with a big Charlie kiss on the cheek. Perhaps more on him later though, since our January was quite eventful in general.
In January 2015 we travelled to a cheer competition out of town, and went skating a lot thanks to mild weather. We also spent some time in the indoor field house with friends, where the kids could run and play freely. They did some rock climbing but then decided that laying on the floor, legs on the wall, was just as good. Chatting away about 6 year old problems, it certainly made me laugh.
We also cuddled a new baby in the family, my new niece, Marley. My daughters are totally smitten with her, as am I. It’s so nice to get my fix of new-baby smell again – man, I missed that!
Plus, you might notice that My Organized Chaos has changed *a bit*. This month I also got a great new design! Talk about new beginnings for 2015!
As we end January, the weather is much colder and snow is falling. This is more typical of the weather for the month. I have to admit, I’m not as bothered by this, as I’d typically be. We just cuddle up to Charlie and stay hime.
…. On the other hand, summer would still be a million times better. January – ugh – is it summer yet?
How was your January 2015?

If you haven’t tried Month in Photos yet, you need to give it a try!
Gather your best of the month for a collage and then print each month off. By years end you’ll have a year in photos for an album – without much effort required. Voila!

I love Charlie! What a cutie pie! I bet the girls just love him!
They so do, he’s so loved!
What a fun month it looks like, a new niece and dog!!!! Our month was pretty good, but I think yours wins! That doggy is just precious!!!!
Thank you Kelsey, there’s been a lot of changes this year already!
That’s the cutest photo collage ever! Your kids, and your puppy are adorable! My January was hectic, but good. Hectic means busy.
Thank you Jennifer! Busy makes the time fly and that, I don’t mind so much – when it’s January! lol
Goodness I’ve been trying to ignore the fact it’s not January anymore- it has just gone by in a whirl. We have been moving, sort of, haha, deep cleaning and reorganizing? It has been a journey!
that’s a big event – good luck with the move!
Aww, the kids and dog are so cute! Love seeing these monthly recaps via awesome photos.
Thank you Amy!
What a fun month!! We did some changes on our blog as well was a great way to start off 2015!!!

January was busy but relatively uneventful (which is a good thing)!
Thanks nice after the holidays!
I love all your photos! It’s a lot of fun looking back at a period of time through images. And congrats on the new puppy!
Thanks Christi!
Charlie is so cute! I love the rockwall photo, too! I can’t wait til my kids are old enough to climb!
Spontaneous photos sometimes turn out the best don’t they? Good thing I had a camera handy!
Wait! January is over?!?! HAHA It flew by for us!! Charlie is the cutest little puppy I’ve ever seen! Your blog design is fantastic too! Congrats!
Right? Flew by! Thank you so much!
Oh my heart! Your new puppy is so adorable! I just want to cuddle him!
I’ll give him a snuggle for you Amber! 🙂
My January has been great so far. I wish i knew someone with a new born. They are so great to snuggle.
I love it – she’s a very precious baby!
Oh my! The new addition to your family is so cute! Looks like you had a fantastic month.
Thank you!
Oh my goodness, what a cute puppy! What a fun way to capture your monthly events in a post.
Thanks Meagan, I love making these collages – so easy. Finally I’m doing something with my photos!
It’s going to be great living with the new puppy. Adding to the family is always an exciting time!
So far it’s been great. Can’t say I love house training though. lol
What a wonderful idea and congrats on your puppy.
thank you Joanne!
The dog has such a sweet face. At 1st I thought it was a stuffed animal!
A very special month!

SOOOOO cute! What kind of puppy is Charlie? I want one!!!
He’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. 🙂
How’s my January been? I don’t know, I’m not sure where it went! Holy mackerel, it’s 3 days into February already. If you’re busy, that’s good, right?
Beautiful photos! You have the most awesome kids AND family!
Month in photos looks cool, I have zillions of photos. I try to keep them fairly organized, but sometimes life gets out of hand and I fall behind.
I see why you caved…so cute! I really like the idea of a photo collage for each month!
