Wishing you all a Happy New Year that brings lots of happy& healthy times for you and your family. We are feeling refreshed after a relaxing week, albeit cold for Florida standards, of absolutely no obligations. The boys missed their daddy, but it was a beautiful thing to watch their eyes light up when he finally arrived in time for the holiday. We rang in the new year last night with my parents and board games. Lots of wine, caviar and blini, good stone crabs, coconut cake and great fun but very low key. It was very relaxed and it couldn't have been more perfect.
Last year was full of amazing highs and lows. Taking stock in what we've accomplished this year I am proud of not sweating the small stuff. Some of my hopes for 2010 have been realized and you never know where 2011 will take us. One of the wildest memories beyond my dreams was hearing LJ for the first time start to say "Ma-ma-ma" these past few weeks. And watching Nate concentrate for hours to successfully put his Lego's together forming some Lego battleship masterpiece or another. It melts my heart. The big tube wean is going to be a real struggle at times. There is nothing harder then standing by and watching your child who you love, hurt so bad or be frustrated beyond expression, while you stand around feeling helpless. Yet we are remaining open to all the possibilities in the coming year- one in which we will find new rhythms and new successes to celebrate. I have even greater hope for what's to come. Thank you to everyone who has been so generous to us, and for all your support and inspiration.
