First of all our little girl turned 2 on November 9th. Unbelievable! If feels like yesterday that Lauren was in my belly kickin' away. I had a little party and she enjoyed most of it:) The terrible two's have definitely kicked in, but we still love her more than anything and think she's super adorable no matter what:)
Next we were off to the East Coast for almost two weeks and had a blast (most of the time:)! But holy moly was it a lot of work with a 2 & 3 year old. I really wouldn't even go as far to say that it was a "vacation". We flew into Boston, drove to NYC the next day, spent the weekend, drove to Maine for a week and then headed to Boston to fly back home. I know! We're NUTS! But it was ALL worth it...Spending time with friends and family was a blessing.
Then my brother came out for a few days after we returned home. Brandon just got back from being in Japan for 3 years (he is in the Navy). Now he is based in San Diego and we are thrilled. It was wonderful seeing him and what a mature wonderful man my little brother has become...
In between all of this we of course had some fun snow days here and there....
Now we are now anxiously waiting for my mom and Greg to get here. They will be in town for a week. Can't wait!
Sometimes, during the busiest times of our lives, it's hard to just stop and thank God for all the wonderful things He has gifted us with. There really is so much to be thankful for! I pray you have a blessed Christmas and a joyful New Year!
