Two Years Tomorrow...

As I sit here this evening, reflecting on my life...  I just have to count my blessings.  So much has changed in the last year with joy upon joy.  Both Molly and Jaxon celebrated their first birthdays in 2012 and then, tomorrow, Steve and I celebrate our second anniversary.

We got off to a little bumpy start to 2013 with Dad having pneumonia, but he's much better now and he's made the move to live with us and share time in New Orleans with Frank and Carolyn.  We are having so much fun spending quality time together.  And... I'm getting to practice my cooking skills again after taking a bit of a break during my single years.  :)

I'm finding it harder to keep up with the blog, but I'm going to make a concerted effort to post occasional notes because it's so fun to look back and see all the special moments that have occurred over the years.

I was just looking back at the July 2012 post where Jonathan was getting ready to start his new job.  The year has brought him so many successes.  He is tackling his dream job head-on and it's a joy to watch from the sidelines.  Jen, too...  She is making her way with a wonderful job and she had an incredible promotion this year.

Steve's kiddos are doing great, too, and we have had many "proud parent moments" this last year.

Next on the horizon are all the beautiful spring and summer bulbs that Steve so diligently planted last year...  hundreds of them... and I cannot wait to see their pretty blooms (just like these that have already poked their little heads above ground!!)
