HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I find it hard to believe that it is the year 2011. It will take me some time to get accustomed to writing out that one. I love many of my friends. They were able to put out an end of the year post and a post about all of their new year commitments...many chose not to use resolutions...haha. Here I sit, just happy to have a few minutes to blog at all. I will just tie it all in together.
So, as we wound down the year 2010, Merrill and I did manage to reflect on the year. All in all it was a pretty good year. We did some things we have never done, like take several of the children to Monster Jam in Las Vegas. We went dog sledding and it was so beautiful and fun. We also took all of the children snowmobile riding. Now that was great. Hard as it is to believe, we added three more children to the family.
We found out that we have many people that love and support this family that we really never knew before.It has just been an amazing journey to get here. Can you even believe it, we have people willing to come over to hold and play with the younger children. It is a great help to us when they are here.
Our children really wanted for nothing for Christmas as so many people blessed our family. It was overwhelming at times for Merrill and I to even get to be a small part of all that took place.
Now as we have moved into the New Year. We have high hopes just like everyone else. We have dreams for the children and their pathways to success. We have high hopes for our health and our abilities to be the best parents that our children could have ever had, not perfect but the best we know how to be. We hope to grow and to change.
No huge goals, no big resolutions, just to be the best we can be. To face every day to be our best. Now, we know that we will fall short, but one can only pray for a positive out come.
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe next time we will even have pictures.
