A New Year

We had a wonderful holiday and are off and running in hopes of a happy, exciting new year.
The kids were SO good at Christmas. They took turns, they were generous, and no one asked for more. We bought presents for other children and the kids took great delight and helping those less fortunate.
We had a wonderful week home together. Andy had a few days off, which was a rare treat, and our time passed quickly.
Andy and I celebrated New Year's together with a unity and passion uncommon to us. A sense of relief and closure helped put 2010 to rest. We are revitalized to have the past two years behind us and are looking forward with joy to the year to come.
The children are growing so fast...too fast...and I already feel the time slipping by, but what joy they bring to our lives daily, and how thankful I am for all of those in my life.
Here's to a blessed 2011.
