I know, I know I am a bit late with the Happy New Year bit, but at least only a week late. We are back into the swing of things and I must admit I love having a schedule. I love the kids having a bed time {except Kaden who has been falling asleep at 5:3- the last few nights and sleeping till 7 or 7:30 pm!! and then won't go to sleep until around 11:30!} I did love not having to get up and get the kids out the door for school during the holidays but things are so much more relaxed with being in our daily routine. Today we took down all the Christmas decor and it was kind of sad. I love Christmas time, all the decorations, the tree, and the over all feeling that time of year brings. But I also love New Years and all the fresh starts of yet another year. I have one BIG resolution but I feel kinda silly posting it on here because I am so terribly embarrassed about it. So I wont yet, maybe down the road I will when things are going better.
I am really starting to feel OLD! I now have an 11 yr old and a 9 yr old! How time flies by so incredibly fast! Kylie turned 9 on Sunday. She is getting so grown up and has become such a wonderful, bright, beautiful girl! It makes me shed a tear or two just thinking about how fast she has grown up, where has my little girl gone. It seems like yesterday she was born. At Church on Sunday I had a moment.... one of those almost want to cry moments because my baby is growing up too fast. Kaden started Sunbeams!! I cant believe he is already in primary and out of nursery!! Like I said I feel old and like time is slipping thru my fingers! I find myself thinking that I should have done things differently, spent more time with my kids instead of being so worried my house isn't clean or the laundry isn't done... those thing don't matter, but the memories we make with our kids do! So I guess I have 2 resolutions this year, the second being making the time with my family count more, and to make more time with my kids to do the fun things, not to worry so much about the laundry, or cleaning the house. Yes those are still important and I will have to wait till they are all tucked away in bed for the night to get them done but family is forever, and we need to make the most of it here and now.
