I’ve been anxiously awaiting our early Spring.  I realize that it’s been a WHOLE lot colder a whole lot of other places, but I’ve been SO cold this winter.

It even got about as close to snowing as it gets in this parts last week:

Then, right when I thought I couldn’t take another cold-ish day, my twins came home with these {cutest school project ever}, and it just seemed a little bit warmer, and a whole lot more like Spring was right around the corner.

Is it starting to feel like Spring where you live?

I blinked another time and #3 turned 9.  I swear to you, I can’t figure out where the 24 hours in each day goes!

I don’t know what I did to deserve such a good kid, but he’s been the sweetest, kindest, most well behaved kid around since he was born.  I’m one lucky mama, that’s for sure.   He definitely resembles his dad in the looks department, but clearly he takes after me in the “what I want to do for my birthday” department because we spent the day eating at his favorite places to celebrate the day he entered the world.  :)

How to you celebrate your kids birthdays?

Grace became a teenager last week.  I don’t know where the time went.  I swear to you that it was just a few years ago that it was New Years Day of the New Millennium and I was joyfully ringing in the new year 90 lbs. heavier with thoughts of the impending birth of my first baby!

Blink!

Here were are 13 years later and I have a beautiful teenager on my hands that I couldn’t be prouder of.  Truly.  She is such a good girl.  I just can’t. believe. she’s a teenager.

For her birthday we went out to lunch and ice skating.  Well, she and her sister and cousin ate lunch and went ice skating.  I sat in the wondering where the time went and how it’s possible to gain that much weight in 9 months.

What fun traditions do you have with your teens?

This year it’s my wish that you and yours have a year filled with joy, peace, prosperity and good health!

{I was going to post a bunch of Christmas pictures, but this year I decided to put the camera away and enjoy the moment instead.  I already regret not having pictures, but it was absolutely LOVELY to enjoy the moments as they happened in real time and not through a lens.}

What is your wish for the New Year?
