Reflections from 2008

Well, a new year has dawned. Life has had some crazy twists and turns this past year. My husband went to basic training and is now in the Coast Guard Reserves. That was ten weeks of being a single parent.

Our girls are now 3 1/2 years old and 1 year old. Amazing how quickly they grow up. I am still awestruck at how blessed I am to have such beautiful and sweet children. Of course, I say this in the wake of dealing with the terrible threes. Some days I want to pull out my hair.

Additionally, I'm still at home with the girls every day. Whew! What a blessing and what an exhausting job I have. My goodness some times it's just a zoo here. And I know what some of you are thinking, you only have two children. Haha! I know.

Hailey started pre-school this year and absolutely loves it. She is going to a little place up the road and has six children, including herself, in her class. This one is a smarty. It will be interesting to see what this coming year brings for our little peanut.

Clara is a curious child. She watches people. She's walking all over the place and absolutely a joy (most of the time.) It's been so fun watching her personality change and develop. I look forward to what is to come.

We're still busy with our church when we can find the time between Evan's job and photography, Hailey's school and gymnastics, and all the other things families do. Here's hoping everyone's year panned out okay.
