Another year over...and wiser too?
{A Christmas Card reject...great smiles, poor posture}
Can't believe 2010 has come and gone. I'm not totally ready to say goodbye...I feel like I am, in some ways, still trying to pick of the pieces of 2010 and pull myself together. I also don't like time moving farther away from when Hughie was here. I can't believe that in February, Hughie would be a year old! 2010 will always be the year of Hugh William for our family, but as I looked back at lasts year's posts the other day, I realized that 2010 also brought some other great moments too. We grew, a lot, as a little family and I like to think we have a better understanding of who we are and what we are doing here on earth. We also enjoyed some great time together...especially this summer when Hugh got to be home before starting his graduate degree (that severance package was a little pick-me-up after such a rough start to 2010). Ruby has grown so much, too, and keeps us smiling. She spends all her time chatting, singing, dancing, and playing these days. Sometimes I feel she acts older than a two-year-old. We were reminded this past year how wonderful our families and friends are. We feel blessed to have such great support systems around us when life is really tough...and when life is really good.
What will 2011 have in store....some GOOD and some bad, I'm sure...along with some more growing (pains). I don't have many new year resolutions, yet (remember I'm still trying to pick of the pieces of 2010 :). But as a family, we do have one....but I'll save that for another time.
Bring on 2011!
