Well since the year is coming to a close. I am feeling just a tad misty eyed and sentimental. As I reflect back over our year I think of all the blessings that we have and all the things that have happened over the year.
In January we started out our first new year in our house. Which at the time I thought was perfect for us. Celebrated my birthday. Feburary, Danielle my dil celebrated her birthday . March rolled around and we got caught up in starting to prepare the ground for our garden and some fruit trees.We also lost our beloved Max he was the best dog but old age caught up to him (as it will in al of us I guess) Easter was a joy we went to the Zoo and had a fun easter egg hunt . Then April which is a bit busy at first as Carissa turned 5 and the following day Tim turned 25. In this month we planted our pear tree and started our gardin inside. I also found out a good friend of mine was moving to North Carolina and I knew I would miss her alot. Come May it was Larissas birthday she turned 4. I had my special Mothers day time alone and the children and my dh bought me all kinds of plants for the front yard. We also planted our first Peach tree. June My oldest dd graduated .I was so proud of her, she will be embarking on college to become a vet in September. My oldest son Tommy turned 26 and I was not able to go back to New York again so I missed another birthday. It has been so long since I have got to see him :( . Now comes July and Mikey turns 17 . Garden is in full bloom and our apple tree is producing more apples than I ever dreamed of. August was get ready for school month.It was a very hot month so we spent most of it in the pool. September rolls around Tarissa Jean my baby turns 2 . School is in full swing Mike is taking some classes at Fort again. He is a 11th grader. Marissa is in 1st grade ,Carissa is in k , and Larissa is in prek. Lisa has started her college classes at Clark. Wow am I getting old. October dh has his birthday and Halloween and all kinds of fun fall things. November is time for Thanksgiving and finally December Lisa turns 20 on the first and my darling granddaughter Katlin turns 4 and I still haven't been able to get to NY and see her. {{sigh}} Michael is also preparing to take his confirmation and Christmas is upon us.
We managed in our lives this year to squeeze in some day trips to the ocean, grist mill, parks, long drives, and of course the zoo. We have added a new bunny to our family, and 3 turtles. Lisa and I and the girls have had a great summer on our friday outings and of course saturday farmers market days.
As the year end we do wonder what the new year holds for us and if my husband will be laid off as work has been very slow at the plant. We do have our landscaping business to help some though and God has never given us more than we can handle. Here is hoping you all have a Blessed New Year.
