Ashton and Josie are becoming more aware of time. Yet, they still had a little confusion as to what we are celebrating when I told them we are celebrating New Years.
"A new year is when you get to start everything all over again. A new January. A new February and Valentines day. A new March and April. A new spring, summer and fall...."
Smiling, they told me they are looking forward to the new year. Smiling back, I agreed. So much can happen in 365 days.
Taking down the Christmas tree, I always pray while I place the ornaments back in their respectful boxes. Who knows where we'll be and what could happen between now and the time we glance at those very ornaments again. All I know is that I am continuing to appreciate life and time more and more with each passing year. I see my children and their relentless growth as a physical sign of how quickly time rolls forward in this life. Each moment, so precious.
Instead of my usual top 10 countdown of my favorite pictures of the year, I have decided to simply go through my favorite moments from these past 12 months. Brace yourselves for a lot of pictures!
