Memories

I just read a post by my sweet niece that reminded me of the Berenstein Bears.  What wonderful times we had reading and re-reading these books.  I think I would get as excited as she when we would find another "new to us" bear book.  The adventures they had.
Speaking of memories.....Allison had to choose a younger picture of her to display at her 5th grade graduation party.  We all had a ton of laughs at how silly we all were.  She chose this one.

What a sweetie pie she was and still is.  I can't believe that her elementary school days are almost finished.

Day One

A New Year brings so many things - a new day, a new month and a new year.  More than that it brings new beginnings, new chances of getting your priorities straight and focusing on the important things.  My New Year's resolutions this year are fairly simple and yet hard to accomplish each and everyday.
1. Stay true to who I am and what I believe in.
2. Take a moment each day to say Thank you.
3. Hug my kids and work on building their self-esteem.
4. Make my marriage a priority - after all, the kids will one day be moving on to their own lives.
Basically, my goals this year are to be centered, calm and focused more on others than myself.
