New Years 2010!!

We are officially lame old parents :) We don't have any exciting plans this year, well I guess what some would consider exciting plans!! We will be staying home this year, putting Max to bed and playing games with the kids until midnight!! The kids are a little bummed about not having our annual New Year's Eve bash, but with no basement I'm not about to have 15 kids over for a party!

2010 was a great year for us, here are a few of the highlights...

• Max is potty trained, and really starts communicating and talking :)

• Had a great Disney family vacation!

• Actually had many vacations and getaways, I do love the beach :)

• Spent our first full year as NC residents!!

• Jack went to Middle school!! (yikes)

• Olivia gets the Omnipod, life changing...such a blessing!!

• Harrison has made such great friends this year, you can't keep him in the house!!

• We find out we're expecting #5!!

• Tim and I had a chance to have a getaway just the two of us to SF!! (hence the above blessing)

• Tim's personal business is flourishing, I'm so proud of him!!

I feel like this year we grew a lot, as a family and as individuals!! Moving here and dealing with all the new and the change, has really made all of us do a lot of thinking about what is important in life!! As long as we're all together we are okay!

I often have to remind myself that although these days feel crazy and stressful, these are the days I will long for when I'm older!! To have little kids running around happy, playing, fighting, whining..it's all good!! So for me this coming year I hope to embrace the craziness I call my life a little more, breath it all in, be okay when milk is spilled for the 3rd time at dinner, and know I'm blessed to have all these little crazies to call mine!!

Happy New Year's everyone!!
