It only seems appropriate that I end the year with a blog entry.
I open by thanking my family and friends for their on going, unwavering love and support.
Without my John and our children I would be hopeless.
Without my Mom I would be lost.
Without my fellow monster fighter Holly I would be insane.
Without my regular check-ins from a number of incredible women I would be lonely. I would start listing them but then I would forget someone and feel dreadful. You know who you are.
Without my Wednesday "meeting of the minds" I would forget how to laugh. I already miss Nutcracker rehearsals for that extra time we get to spend together and the women I don't see on Wednesdays. Maybe you should all just show up at the studio anyways ;)
Without my Facebook friends and community(s) I would be bored, uneducated and dull.
Thank you.
2012 has been an incredible year.
Our children have grown, matured and are becoming some of the most amazing people I know.
Amy is fabulous. I was so proud of her during the Nutcracker and the kindness she showed towards the little dancers. While some of the older girls largely ignored the littles, Amy was always present and willing to help and encourage. To have other parents comment on how wonderful she is makes this Momma very proud. Shine on smart girl.
B has made a complete transformation since his heart surgery in March. Most notably he is growing. He has grew 1 1/4" in the past two months. He continues to try hard at school even though its challenging. He has formed some amazing friendships and is truly one of the most caring boys I know. This just proves once again that gender, labels and diagnoses do not define a persons character.
Dana is our brave song bird. Never silent and extremely resilient, Dana is turning into a very strong and confident young lady. She has an amazing memory which comes in handy for me. She is always available for a hug and is very intuitive about what each member of our five needs. I have to work extra hard to make sure she gets what she needs in return.
John has proven to me over and over again that I chose well so many, many years ago. Almost twenty three years if you are counting.
2013 will bring more obstacles and difficulties.
We can already see them and around them.
With each challenge there will be further growth, rewards and fresh outlooks.
We are looking forward to continuing expansion on our farm.
I'm starting the vision board today... I NEED a plan that I can see!
I am looking forward to learning more and spending time with more like minded families.
We are taking more control of our health individually and as a family. I am the expert on me and mine. Our expanding team is going to have to check their egos. I'm sure I will share much about that as January rolls on.
Farewell 2012.
Welcome 2013.
