The Family of 2011

We're about 2 hours, 12 minutes away from the official year of 2012. I'm home with one baby in bed, a niece on the couch and a husband out with friends. We're not really crazy partiers and since we both have very different friends and ideas of fun, it's not strange that we are not together to ring in the New Year. However, soon enough we'll be snuggled in bed together and I will be thinking of all our blessings, our son, our heath, our loving supporting family who keep a roof over our heads.

2011 saw Colin turn 1! Me return to work. Colin's first holiday, a visit to Nova Scotia. Sometimes it doesn't seem like we've accomplished much, we still don't own our own house or have any money in the bank ( oops ) but we have a happy child, a car that is fully paid off, money in a RESP for Colin's education as well as another college course under my belt. So while we ( I ) could have done better, we've done great! 

So while I don't really have a resolution, I just want to continue moving forward and learning and growing. And being healthy and blessed.

Happy New Year. Welcome 2012!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas. I love our family traditions. It's time for bed so not much to say except to add a shot of our leaning-against-the-wall Christmas tree and warm wishes to you and yours. 

Disclaimer: Thank you God for all that I'm blessed with and my family!

Time Goes By.....

It's December 16th and I am free!

Free from work for two weeks.

Free from my prior learning assessment course towards my ECE diploma. 

And tomorrow is the last day of my weight loss challenge through a local gym and then I'll be free from that except I'm going to pretend I'm not so that I can keep up my work out routines and clean eating habits.

I feel like I need to talk about a lot of things and give a big update but because it's the first night of my vacation, I need to step away from my desk and onto my couch. And be lazy.

I will be back.
