Happy New Year!!!!

Ok, so I stayed up on New Years eve alone to ring in the new year. Abe was still so sick that he fell asleep early. I made crab legs etc had a great, fun night planned. Well needless to say those plans went out the window. The kids were still sooo sick, Abby still had blisters in her mouth that were sooo painful, she crys constantly. Maddy now has them on her feet, will this ever end?


So I sat up till midnight and I have to tell you it would have been great to have Abe awake to share it with but, honestly it gave me time to cry and think and really look back at the year I would never be in again. I have said that at this time last year (2007-08) I was miserable pregnant, I had a amazing pregnancy with Abby, but with the twins it was miserable. I never had a problem admitting that but now I do. It makes me so sad that I was not able to look beyond the discomfort and pain and take it for the amazing thing it was. I HAD 2 HEALTHY BABIES. That by the way, did not want to leave their comfortable spots. I carried them 39 weeks.........ughhhh. Anyways I look at the joy they have brought me and how funny, adorable and healthy they are and I just want to cry again. Abby is so great as well she is so sweet and funny and loving to her brother and sister it warms my heart.

So I think this year I am going to try and STOP and appreciate everything GOOD and BAD and be thankful for it all. 10 years ago I would have told you Abe and we would not have a home with three beautiful children, I was so discouraged.

So with that said: I am so thankful for my kids, my husband, my family, my friends and my relationship with the Lord. I will try my best to appreciate all of them!!!!!!!!!!
