Out with the Old -

In with the New!

I love new beginnings. Maybe that's why I enjoy the start of each day, Mondays (if I'm not heading out the door to work) and the beginning of a new year. It brings hope. It brings hope that you can make a different choice or a choose a different path with a fresh start.

Thoughts from 2010:
love knows no bounds. babies grow fast. family is forever. true friends are always there. things that are important aren't things. jobs are not a dime a dozen but opportunities to change are. our dog eats way to many birds in our yard. when the going gets tough - we get innovative. wood heat is awesome. sleep is optional. teething sucks. photography is more than a job - it's a passion. living apart is rough. listening is important. communication is key. being together after being apart has its challenges. when every thing falls apart - faith and a lot of chocolate are a great team. babies don't mind where or who they throw up on. loading your drawers has true meaning now. christmas isn't about how many presents but the love. forgive and forget takes time. being true to you is priority. parenting is a joy. sometimes changing your path is the key to self-love. honesty is the best policy. music is important. daycare = opportunities and flu bugs. flu bugs don't care if they are recycled for weeks in a household. big pumpkins are fun. electronics are better than toys. 'dada' is our super hero. emergency room visits happen. multiple times. let people know how you feel. and lastly.... take each day to be thankful and know that if you're not so much liking today - a brighter tomorrow is only a few hours away.

Here's to a new year filled with new lessons to be learned! May your new year give you the opportunity to learn from your yesterdays and make you better for your tomorrows!

You are strong and beautiful and are going to get through any situation life throws at you. I am so thankful that I get the honor of being your sister and going through the adventure of life together.
Here's to a new year with new possibilities and lessons to be learned.
I love you more than lotion for Johnson "ouch" skin, sleeping in (what's that?!) and laughing hysterically after one adult chocolate milk. :)
