My husband {The Brainy One} chose our word for 2012: ENJOY. Not because he wants us to be frivolous with our lives, but because he wants us to grasp every opportunity, good or bad, that comes our way this year. The focus for February was to try and capture our word through the camera lens.
**The majority of this post was ready to go before the tragic and sudden loss of my FiL**
Middle row from left: Half-term week with cousins, coffee with Mel ~ she is a prolific blogger and her silence since the new year had many of us in BlogLand worried; I was pleased to report back that all is well and first visit to the Circus for The Boy Child ~ he loved it!
Bottom row from left: School trip to the Science Museum, donating my 21st pint of blood and being together.
The greatest excitement in February was locating family members who have been missing for 30 years. I added the photo of my newly located relatives over the divided page protector (and added their names after I took the photo).

Congratulations on your reaching your 21st pint! Been thinking of you and hoping everything is going as smoothly as such things can.
I love how you are documenting your word.
I am so sorry to read about your FIL. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Father in law. I really enjoyed your post and I LOVE your word. Enjoying life is something we seem to forget while we are so busy living it. So thank you!
I am so sorry for your loss.
I think that the word "enjoy" fits you very well. I am very guilty of living but not enjoying.
TFS your journey of enjoyment. Joy and sorry interwoven.
Thanks for popping bye! Love your word! It great to try and enjoy life...even when the difficult times find us. The banner tags are great. You have been busy! Good luck with your OLW in March! -Amanda
