This great big world, bubby...it's yours. 
You are full of fascination, excitement, and just the right amount of snuggles.
I couldn't love you more.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for a while,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never,
ever the same.

Favorite Images of 2009 #1


I have decided to start a new little project and share with you this month some of my favorite images of 2009....in the spirit of rememberance and growth.

So...Image #1. I caught this "twins" pic on accident.  We were settling down the kids for the night, watching Dora/Diego/Backyardigans (one, depending on the night) and I caught my sweet lovey cuddled up with Eric in the exact same pose.

too cute for words.

cheers

Welcome to 2010.  Wow.  I remember in high school a number like that sounded like something so "in the future."  Well...oops, I guess I'm there and someone forgot to tell me.  Yet, regardless of the way I am here I am grateful for the past year.  For some reasons, merely because it is over, for others because I am so thankful that I have had another year to watch my children grow, to watch myself grow.
And so...a new year begins.  I'm not a believer in New Year's Resolutions, not because I think resolutions are dumb, but because I think it's really super dumb to make a whole lot of them in one day...the chances of carrying that through, um...zilch.  So, I have decided to be 'resolute' to make lots of little changes, every day, odd days, sad days, mad days, happy days...to be MORE, to not let things weigh so heavily, to learn how to trust.
At the end of 2010 I imagine many things will be the same, but I hope deeply that many things are not. 

So...to my third year of being a "blogger," here's to many more memories.
