A New Year!

2012 has come & gone, and a new year is here again! 2012 was a busy, very memorable year for our family, with the two biggest highlights being the birth of our sweet boy, and moving back home to CT. I have to say that each year really does get better and better. God keeps blessing us & teaching us new things & showing us new ways of how to trust in Him. And without a doubt, His faithfulness still holds true; year after year, God proves that He remains the same loving Sovereign God that He is despite my failures and mistakes.

My devotional this morning was all about focusing on the things that matter this new year, instead of pouring our attention over things that are vain & worthless. Like how many times do I focus on the things of the world, worrying over small things like if I gained weight over the holidays or not - dumb small things like that that shouldn't matter in eternity. Then I thought of the things in my life that do matter the world to me, like my amazing kids, my marriage, my faith in God.

I think new year's resolutions are kind of dumb. Sorry, I do. It's not bad to set goals, but if you really have something you need to change, then a new year shouldn't be the thing that motivates you to do it, you should be doing it regardless.

These two make my heart so full! I SO love being a mom. It's one of God's best gifts to me! This past year was one of the hardest with the move but also one of the best, because Lilly got a sibling. =) It's so amazing watching my two kids love each other and play together. I'm not trying to brag but Lilly is seriously the best older sister there is. They don't really fight (YET), and she is always trying to protect him and giving him toys and trying to console him when he is crying. I am so proud of her, and it makes me excited to see them getting closer and closer!

I have a feeling 2013 is going to be an amazing year!
