This little angel is the greatest blessing we received in 2009 and what a blessing she is!
Am I the only one who thinks she just keeps getting cuter and cuter?
I'd be lying if I said that 2009 wasn't a difficult year for us because I sure feel like it was. As with every year we had our ups and downs, but for some reason we seemed to stay more on the down side trying to make our way up. When I get discouraged about life I try to think of the blessings I have rather than what I don't have. Sometimes it hard, but I am definitely grateful to be the mother that these two little girls call "mommy."
Would I be considered a bad mother if some days I wonder if they were sent as a blessing or a trial :) ? I hope somebody else has had that same thought . . .We are hopeful for this upcoming year. We have some lofty goals and pray that we may find the right path to achieve them. Some of the greatest challenges of the goals we set seem to be the small steps we have to take and the trials we face to get there. I often feel like maybe I don't want to get to the other side of a trial because I worry that the next one will be greater, but if I continued with this mentality it would interfere with the opportunity I've been given to learn and to grow.
I'm grateful for 2010 and look forward to the successes it will bring. (After all 10's my lucky number which makes me hopeful something good will come from it!)
I wish a Happy New Year to all of our friends and family and hope it will be a prosperous and happy one for each of you!
