2023 was filled with growth and development for our family, a year that I would not change. It brought a closeness and learning more to rely on one another for the boys, Jake, and I. The girls learned a little more self-reliance and our family re-discovered the joy of all being together. I anticipate that discovery will grow and become sweeter as our children continue to become adults. Our house is still not 100% complete but it is so close. Jake has worked diligently on it and it is better than before.
Aubree flew out this morning and Ginny leaves in the morning. It will soon be my boys (including Jake) and I. It does not seem so far distant in the past when it was a struggle to get my littles where they needed to be and now I yearn for that time again. What I would give to have kept them small and dependent upon me but I know the necessity of letting them grow and experience life. I had a fond childhood memories but my greatest joy has come from being a wife and mother, so I want my babies to experience that same joy and development...if only, I could shield them from the occasional heartbreak though. So here is to 2024, a year of upcoming joys, disappointments, opportunities, and love.
