Happy New Year...

2012 was a great year and we have so much to be thankful for. Our family is happy and healthy, we have a beautiful home, amazing friends and are fortunate to be close to our parents as well as siblings. Charlie has a great job and I get the best job in the world..being home with the kiddos. Charlie and I aren't big on new years resolutions. We're more of the take life one step at a time and roll with the punches kind of people. Although one thing we both agree on is to make the most of everything and give more of ourselves in every situation. Even the littlest of things, like giving the kids a bath, can be the best thing ever in your kids eyes if you put your full attention on them.

Unfortunately it's that full attention that can be overlooked. More and more we find ourselves telling the kids and eachother to "hold on" or "just a minute" because we are checking our e-mail, fiddling with our various apps, sending a text, blogging...the list goes on. These days its so easy to get distracted with all the technology out there and we don't want to miss these precious years in our kids life. I don't know about you but the years are flying by just like everyone said they would!

With that said, we are looking forward to spending even more quality time as a family and not with our gadgets. And were ready for an amazing year and whatever it brings...it's always an adventure for us!

Starting out the New Year having fun with daddy with nerf wars and wrestling, which of course wouldn't be complete without total living room destruction!
