Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, 2018


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

It's 2018!

The year of big things! At least I feel that way...our son in a few months turns 13 and we'll no longer have 'kids' in the house and our daughter a few months after that turns 18. A teenager and an adult. How did time fly by so quickly? In the blink of an eye.

As we close an old year and move onto a new one there's always a great deal of reflection, gratitude, thankfulness and hope.
What a life! What a wonderful, sometimes crazy, blessed life we have.

We thank God for this last year, for 2017...

We've been in our new town for a little over 1 year now and it just feels like 'home'.
Blessed to still be homeschooling.
We have made wonderful friends, truly great friends.
We were able to garden and grow here.
It snowed last winter, we love the peaceful feeling that overcomes just being inside watching snowfall outdoors!
Hubbie has a really great job in a family oriented atmosphere.
I'm blessed to be able to continue to work at home while being with the kids.
We have a supportive church community and look forward to each Sunday.
Our son broke his arm but luckily there was no surgery.
Our daughters health is slowly improving.
Our kids although siblings are great friends too and have had some wonderful moments together!
We thank God even for bringing our Papa home this past year, we miss him here on earth but know we will see him again and take comfort that he is with the Lord and with his family and wife. It is a blessing he has no more suffering here on earth.
We got a new home...so thankful for the space, the land and the future it holds.
 
Truly 2017 overflowed with blessings and those are what we focus on when we look back and look forward to 2018 ahead.



Happy New Year to all, may this upcoming year hold many blessings!
