morning! as i sit playing with my lil man, its well before 8am, i decided its time for one last blog of 2010. he's grown so very much in the last (almost) 5 months. sometimes i still cannot believe he is here with us. now he is rolling over, when he wants to of course, talking SO much-sometimes he won't eat because, well its priority to let momma know whats on his mind:), he has loud squeals, that crack us up! he's much more interested in maxxi too, and maxx is TONS more interested in him! elijah had a amazing first christmas. we were all exhausted from the running around, but it was well worth it. he got to spend his very first chrismtas meeting more cousins, not to mention all the goodies he got! he is one spoiled baby boy! i think he has a whole new winter wardrobe-which is good considering we are planning a trip to PA in the early spring, and he will need those! and lots of noisy toys, ornaments and other goodies! abe and i made out too! got a new microwave (finally!) and a surround sound system for our living room. i really love that! also got clothes and other goodies as well.
we are really looking forward to 2011! starting off with a move! not a PCS...just move. as much as i enjoy what many call a 'luxury' living on post, i'm over it. we are not receiving a crazy amount of money for the small house we live in. the annoying neighbors. many would and have said, its 'safer' to live on post. contrary to that belief, its honestly just the same as living in 'civilian' neighborhoods. abe will be starting school too, i'm so very proud of him! once he gets into the swing of things with school, and with some planning we're taking Elijah up to meet his mimi and PA family. i'm very excited, not too thrilled about taking a 6-7month old on a plane,but excited to get there, and be with them!
i don't know what else next year has in store for us, but i'm extremely grateful to what 2010 brought for us. first a move home and of course our sweet baby boy came into our lives! abe and i are truly blessed! thank you to everyone who shared in all our special moments this year, and helped make memories with us!
this year didn't come without its falling-outs or what have you. but i've come to the conclusion that some people, you are just better off without. they aren't worth the worry, or drama. i hope to go into this new year with that same mindset and also not to worry about the little things, because what God brings you to, HE will bring you through!
So heres to a wonderful start to 2011, an amazing new year full of new beginnings for us!
