It's a New Year!

I was planning to blog about resolutions-you know to make some or not, cause I'm not the best at keeping them! Instead I thought I would reflect a little on 2010. This was still a difficult year for many and like most folks these days I have been more conservative in many areas of my life. When I reflect on this year for our family it was filled with many blessings, we have a beautiful new granddaughter Addison. Sage and Jer are loving parenthood and Addison just makes life happy and fun for all of us. Jake, our handsome grandson, was baptised in December. Honestly, Jake is just the most delightful child, I wish everyone a child like him. Ella is my darling Minners, she is such a little girly, girl. In November she turned 3 and had a Princess Party and she is every inch the Princess, or at times our little Diva! Love her so much. Addison will be 8 months old on the 8th and she is really coming into her own--she is crawling like crazy, takes fewer snoozes and is already free standing when she's not thinking about it! We look forward to a new granddaughter in a few days-so we are starting 2011 with lots of hugs, kisses and joy with her arrival. I feel so lucky to have this family and all the joy it brings me. And so after reflecting a bit this is what I resolve for 2011--to continue to love and enjoy my husband, children and darling grandchildren. Anything else that I would resolve to do would probably fall by the wayside anyway. However, I do resolve to live 2011 as joyously and as happily as possible and I hope all of you do the same!
