New Years Eve

Well, I made it.  I crammed our entire 2018 into a few nights of blogging and mostly uploading photo's.  Would love to say my resolution for 2019 would be to be a more "real time" blogger, but I'm not sure if I can commit to that. I will definitely do better - how about that?

I'm not even sure how to summarize this year.  We had some big moments and some small moments but mostly all good moments.  Everything just goes by so fast.  From sports to music to seasons........we look forward to the start and then it's over. On to the next thing.  Crazy how fast time goes.

Our kids are pretty darn terrific. We are so blessed. They make us laugh, they make us crazy, but overall, they are good humans.

 My husband is a great husband and a good father. I am so fortunate to have a man who supports a traveling wife and mother like he does. I am hard to love, but he loves me unconditionally.  How in the heck did I land him?

And then there is Ribbie.  I'm going to end the year with pictures of him.  He brings us all comfort and joy. We are all just suckers for him.

Happy New Year. Here's to a happy and healthy 2018!

December 2018

The month started out with Brenley’s 5th grade band concert. It was an all school concert and it was amazing! She did so good. In a very short amount of time, they had all gotten very good.

Then she had her Garten’s Music Academy music showcase. She played a Christmas piece on the piano, and again, it was so good!

And then we quickly got to Christmas! Christmas Eve was spent in McPherson. Always a good time. Even Ribbie got presents!

Then we headed to Oklahoma later in the week to celebrate with them. Again, always a good time. The day we spend together goes by so fast!

And I am a little out of order, but yes, we did celebrate our own little Christmas here at home. So this was the year Brenley questioned Santa and our Elf.  Little less magic this year, but I think I'll be better prepared next year to find new meanings and ways she and Beau can be Santa.....passing along good deeds and magic to friends and family.

We also dressed up our Ribbie baby in matching pajamas (to Bren and I) and it truly made my Christmas Day.
