As 2013 comes to a close, I am so thankful for the year I’ve had and have a million wonderful memories to take into the future with me. Here are my best times from 2013:
- Welcoming our third baby and first little boy in the comfort of my own environment surrounded by the love of my family.
- Wishing happy birthdays to 22 other new babies in my life.
- Watching my 5 year old start her school journey and learn to really read in just a few short months.
- Starting my 3 year old in an activity that she enjoys and is really good at.
- Trick-or-Treating with my girls for the first time.
- Helping Honeybun prepare for her first dance performance and proudly watching her kill it on stage!
- Getting back into doing something I really love: teaching ballet.
- Spending tons of time with family and doing lots of new things with the girls.
- Being a part of an amazing family as they came together to love and remember a remarkable man who touched all of our lives so deeply.
- Spending Easter with extended family and watching water turn to wine (when a bottle of red wine my uncle put in the ice dispenser exploded and gushed out of the fridge!)
- Making new, wonderful mommy friends that have been a wonderful support system as we’ve adjusted to our new home.
- Reconnecting with old friends I’d lost touch with and feeling confident we won’t lose touch again anytime soon!
- Starting Beyond Mommying and finding joy and fulfillment in sharing my mommying experiences and learning from other mommies in the process!
