2012 in Review

I'm now seeing that the more kids I have the faster time flies.  It's really not fair...

But I have to say 2012 was a good year.  A year of major growth for our family, myself personally, and obviously these boys!

-We loved Christmas Eve this year! and loved waking up in our own home.

-Closed on our house the last day of the year & it was a definite growing time for Lance & I.

I love our little family & I especially love my husband.  This last year has brought us even closer together & I'm so glad he is my best friend.  We have so much fun together and I wouldn't want to spend life with anyone else.  Our boys...are boys.  They are growing so much & even though they are hard right now, it won't always be that way & I am figuring out how to enjoy--even when it's hard.  We are so grateful for all of our blessings & I know the Lord looks over us & knows each of us & what we need.  Here's to a New Year...I'm excited for what it will bring!!!
