The time of year has come upon us that makes us feel all warm inside. The season of giving, thanks, and perpetual hope. I know I have said it many times before, but this year I feel more blessed than ever. There is so much to be thankful for that I could spend hours writing it all down. Most importantly, I am blessed to have my family. That all starts with Fabian. I knew when I took the new position that it would be hard on us both. More hours for me and more responsibility for him. I am so proud and lucky to have him because he has been very supportive and so great! He is the greatest dad any little girl could ever hope for and I can only pray that their bond continues to strengthen over the years. Just thinking of them makes me smile inside and brings tears to my eyes at the same time. It is really overwhelming sometimes; my cup runeth over.
On another note, we switched Lyla into a new school a few weeks back and it was the best decision ever. She is flourishing and is learning so much! She is still really into music and dancing. We took her to New River's, Jingle Jam, and she had a blast! She was clapping to the beat, dancing, singing and having an absolute ball! I really wish I had that experience on film. I love the purity and simplicity children possess. The really encompass the phrase, "dance like no one is watching." I can't wait for Christmas this year. We have been hiding all of her presents in the spare bedroom because we want to see her reaction to the tree on Christmas morning. She probably won't know what to do with herself! However, I think the family will enjoy watching her than she will opening. It always seems to work that way I guess.
Many Blessings to all and may you have a Merry Christmas!
Oh my goodness, I love love that picture. And I love this post! So much of what you said could have come out of my own mouth. Our kids are such a wonderful blessing, and I hope that I can always appreciate that even when they're both screaming! :-)
