Happy New Year everyone!!
May 2010 be filled with many blessings for you all and I wish everyone good health and happiness always!

Our year went out on a sad note. We lost our beloved family pet, Dante on Wednesday. He was the best kind of dog you could ever want to have and we were so fortunate to have him for 14 wonderful years. He was here for the births of all of our children, happily wagging his tail as we arrived home with each new baby. Eagerly trying to lick their tiny faces. We so badly wanted him to be here for the baby due to arrive next month but it wasn't meant to be. His health has been on the decline for the past year but he hung in there, always content with a wag of the tail and a happy greeting each day. He was tired these last few days though, and his time came. It's so sad but we cherish the many years we had with him. Here is a photo of him 2 weeks ago when we had that huge snowstorm. He always loved the snow!
So....for 2010, I'm going to look forward...
to this,and count my blessings.
The Lord is good and has blessed us abundantly. I will concentrate on that and look forward to a new year. Baby will be here next month and we're so excited to finally meet our baby girl! I know that I will miss being pregnant though - ha ha - I always do, no matter how uncomfortable I get in the last month or two.****
I'm not usually one to make tons of resolutions for the new year, however I do like to look at it as starting over with a clean slate. This year I have sort of thought about resolutions though and two of the biggest things that I'd like to accomplish are:
1) I want to learn to use my time more wisely
2) I desperately want to become more organized
***
so that I can have more time for things like this...
I'm thinking spring picnics in the park. I know it's only been officially winter for 10 days, but I can't help it. When New Years Day arrives, I automatically begin thinking of spring. As beautiful as it can be at times, I will admit I'm NOT a winter person - ha!
Happy New Year Everyone!!
