Am I the only one in shock about how fast the year has gone by? It has been one crazy wonderful year for us.
At the first of the year, I still looked like this, and we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our son. Can you believe that was only a little less than a year ago? It feels like it has been forever since I was having to carry that belly around!
It wasn’t long though before we were celebrating the birth of our beautiful little boy. What better way to begin a new year than with new life?
We have enjoyed a lot of firsts this year. First snow, first Easter, first beach trip, first trip to the zoo, first football game, apple and pumpkin pickin’, first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, and first Christmas (post to come soon…I hope). That is a lot of fun to pack into one year!
As crazy as it has sometimes been with a new little one, a new job for Corey, and all that comes with figuring out parenting for the first time, we have enjoyed every minute of this year. I would not change a thing!
We are going to spend the last day of 2013 just the three of us. I am going to get in every last snuggle, hug, and kiss I can this year from Cullen. Then Corey and I are going to ring in the new year snuggled on the couch. I can’t imagine a better ending to this year and beginning to 2014.
I hope you are spending today reflecting on all the good 2013 has brought and thinking about what you want out of 2014. I don’t usually make resolutions, but I will be back tomorrow with some plans for the new year.
