Trouble with a Capital "T"

I think the "terrible twos" have hit our home early. Granted, the weekend was rough on Addison (17 months) but today was quite a trial. Despite sleeping in and taking a 2 hour nap, our little girl would go from being super sweet to throwing a major tantrum. One of my co-workers once told me that as a mom it was important to store up all of the sweet moments with your child to help make it through some days. Today I definitely used up quite a few of my stored moments. Good thing she is so stinkin' cute, even with a hint of mischief in her eyes :)

Another year is almost past...

Obviously my attempts to update this blog regularly have failed thus far. I'm hoping that as life begins to "slow down" around here that I'll be able to get the hang of this because it's something I would really love to do.

Christmas is just past and it was wonderful. Despite a hectic schedule we thoroughly enjoyed the time we were able to spend with our families. This Christmas was a new experience now having 2 kids, especially since Addison is now old enough to enjoy opening presents. I think that with each Christmas that passes I feel more and more blessed. Looking back on this year we bought our first house, celebrated our oldest daughter's (Addison) first birthday, celebrated 3 blissful years of marriage, and welcomed our second daughter (Erin) to the world. In addition to these blessings, already many more than what we deserve, our family gave very generously to us and our girls and we were overwhelmed by their love.

I can't wait to see what the new year will hold for our little family!
