Every year I have the task of transferring all our birthdays, school schedules, anniversaries and whatnot from our old calendar to the new one. I usually make this into an event. Wait until the kids are sleeping, brew myself a pot of tea, and get lost in the events of the past year. It's a chance to remember each new baby that now has a birthday added on, to think about \our kiddo friends getting older as I update the age next to their birthday, and reflect on the fact that we're getting older too. According to our calendar we'll be married 13 years in June. (The years add up, but it still doesn't seem possible.) And then it's time to think about what to do with the old calendar. I stash my pocket calendars into the kids' memorabilia bins- they can tease me later for being sentimental- but it does seem silly to keep all our wall calendars too. So I'm letting this one serve its next great purpose- Art!
