Emilia turns ONE!

This past year has flown by for me.  There were times that it felt like it was standing still, but I don't think I could have fit much more into it without exploding.  Emilia just turned ONE.  I can hardly believe it.  Duncan's first birthday was so hard for me.  Millie's crept up quietly and seemed to strike without warning.  I wasn't prepared.  Our baby girl is growing up so fast. 

The new year is here

A new year and a new start.  There is going to be a lot of  "new" this year. I am a little overwhelmed by it to be honest.  There are so many big changes happening in such a short time.  Quite a few firsts for us as well.  It will be a huge learning experience.  I guess with all the things that happened last year God decided he didn't want life to get to boring for me. lol.  When I stop long enough to think about all of the things that need to happen I feel like my head may explode.  If you haven't noticed by now,  I can be just a tiny bit of a control freak.!.  I HaVe to have a plan... and usually a backup plan to that.  Especially if there is something big going on.  It is more than a little difficult for me to go without a safety net. Barring quite a few answered prayers, and maybe a miracle or two, things aren't going to happen as easily and I would like, if at all.  As frantic and gloomy as it can seem sometimes, there is also quite a bit of excitment with it.  We are about to have another baby... NEXT MONTH.  We get to find out if it is a boy or a girl.  Millie will be a big sister and Duncan will be a big brother again.  We get to move to Alaska.  A place that both Chris and I are really looking forward to going back to, and it is a larger city in Alaska.  We get a new house and the kids won't have to share a tiny bedroom for three, and our weekends shouldn't be spent "working on a house project". We have so much to be greatful for. So scared or not, here we go...

2011 in pictures

Last year I did a small blog (that took me a really long time) of photos to remember the year.  I have tried to be a little more organized to get this years together easier, but as usual, I'm late.  There are so many pictures to choose from and so many memories to go through with them.  It is nice to be able to share our year wordlessly.
