Mama of 2 P's in a Pod

Little P has this way of just looking at you or touching your hand or giving you a hug that makes everything seem OK. Things have been great, working on unpacking and organizing the house, dealing with the daily routine, trying to keep it routine, getting "promoted" at work while seeing two co-workers leave. The usual kind of stuff, well minus Kris getting 8 teeth extracted last week kind of usual. He is doing remarkably well by the way, even taking time to thank me for being helpful, supportive and a good wife...sigh =) But Little P will still find some way to nudge her sweet little body in for a surprise hug, a sweet touch and a cute little look and for those I'm forever grateful. She has always been my saving grace and its good to feel ok! Also ok, Bit P, despite a few moments of sass and attitude that only a 5-year-old can pull off, she is truly coming into her own.

Boy, time creeps away from me. I didn't realize that I hadn't blogged about the joys of Christmas and big P's 5 th birthday. Then again, we did just move and that has taken up a lot of my time and energy. I don't normally make a New Year's resolution that really has any power or meaning behind it. Partly because I've never really seen the point and partly because I've never been good at it. This year however, is much different. We are starting a new year in a new home with new outlooks. While we have so many blessings to count, we do have some things we as a family and we as individuals (Kris and I) have to change in order for us to succeed in our new journey. So, while I try not to make resolutions, and try to just focus on being "better", sometimes a definition of what "better" is, is truly needed. I have found myself in a corner of the room where I never expected to be. I am more negative than positive, never express my true opinions ...
