Guilty as charged

I'll be the first to admit it.. I'm guilty. Guilty of not posting nearly as much as I should or as I have promised. The year has sped by leaving me wondering what more I could have done to make my life and the lives around me better. I could have played with my kids more, made more gifts, run a little farther [or more frequently], cleaned up a little more often, said something nice or done more good deeds.....

but even with all this, the list of "I should have done more of", I am satisfied with how this year went.

I have been blessed to reconnect with old friends, make new ones and continue to support and love the ones that I already have.

I've watched my baby boy grow, teethe, crawl and walk, among many other firsts. Our oldest started preschool this fall. I can't believe how fast and eager he is to learn. It's hard to explain how much I love my boys and the excitement I have when they learn something new or make a discovery.

I must say, I look forward to each new day with excitement and enthusiasm, what can I do today? How can I be better? ok, guilty... I don't think that EVERY day, but more than not I do. This past week, heh, has been a, lets just say, trying week. Each morning Sebastian has woken up with an out-of-diaper-poopy-experience and they, actually we, got sick. Oh, and did I mention baby boy, teething 4 molars at once?? gesh! Needless to say being optimistic this week [me, having a killer headache for days] has not been easy. But once I pushed past the initial shock and awe of the morning routine the days got better :)

Every time I get a hug or kiss or "I love you mommy" it puts my life in perspective and, even for a brief moment, my world is just right. :)
