The End of the Year

As we are getting ready to say farewell to another year, I cannot help but think about the previous twelve months. So much has happened to our little family this year. There were definitely some high points - Olivia turning one, Emma turned five, Emma started Kindergarten, Halloween, family times, etc. - and there were certainly enough low points to remember as well (we won't get into those right now).

At the end of the day, and the year today, I have to try to look on the bright side of things and remember just how blessed I am to have what I do. My girls are beautiful, healthy and happy. I have a loving husband who accepts me with all of my weirdness. I have an amazing family who supports and loves me. In the end, as long as I have my family with me I can take whatever else happens. We may not be a traditional family, and we may all be a little crazy, but we love each other and we take care of each other. Who could want anything more?

So, farewell to 2008. I can only hope that 2009 brings more happiness and joy to my family and that we are able to spend more time together.I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to spend more time with these two beautiful little people :)
