2012 was a good one...
I feel like we've came a long way this year. This time last year I was still living in a tiny 2 bedroom, 1 bath rental house. We were only a family of 3, but I had a ginormous pregnant belly. In February we moved to Dyersburg in our own home. It's a very spacious 2 bedroom (plus a nursery), 2 bathrooms, large dining room, an extra sitting room, a 2 car carport, and a large shop out back.
On March 29 we welcomed Ian Joel into the world. He was a whopping 9lbs 12oz 21" with a head full of curly brown hair. Once I looked in his eyes, I knew our family was complete.
The rest of the year has been a blur! I turned 21, Christian turned 3, Joel turned 22. Fast forward and were were celebrating Halloween. Ian was a football, Christian was a football player. The holidays were also a blur. Santa was very good to the boys bringing them absolutely everything a little boy could ask for.
Bam! Now here we are. New Years. And I'm already thinking about the upcoming year. In just 3 months we'll be arranging Ian's birthday and then the blur will begin again.

So what's new for 2013
Ok, I'm not one for New Years Resolutions but there are some things I'd like to do differently this year. Joel and I recently realized over half of our day we have our noses stuck to one screen or another. We want to try to spend more time together and less time with TV, Xbox 360, and social networking. Sure we want to lose weight, too, but I'm not betting any money on it!
Probably the biggest change we'll see in 2013 will be with our Christian. He'll be able to play sports this year and will start school in August. It is the most amazing experience in the world to watch my children grow. Every day, Christian looks less like a baby and more like a little boy! Ian's not far behind him, either. It's only a matter of time and he'll be walking. He's already pulling up well.

Where has time gone?!
It's way too obvious that time has absolutely left me, this year we'll try to savor every single second we have left of our babies being little. Don't rush your children. They grow too quickly as it is.
