What a year it's been! Like everyone else, we've had our share of ups and downs. One of the best days ever, followed shortly by one of the saddest. Obviously, having to say good bye to Greta was one of the hardest things I've had to do pretty much ever. She was not just a dog. She was not simply our pet. Greta was all we had for 5 years before we were blessed with the twins. Greta was a constant companion, the best listener, the most non-judgemental best friend I could ever have had. She sat with me and witnessed more of my tears and pain than anyone else had, including Jamie. I miss my first baby - my furry baby - still. That would be in my top 5 all time worst days.
This year, super obviously, also held the number 1 spot in my top 5 best days ever - Gabriella and Benjamin's birth day! These babies mean the whole world to me. I would be nothing without them, now that I have them. I have a hard time even remembering what life was like without them. My sweet little Benjamin and his big open-mouth, gummy smile just melts my heart. And the way he grips onto my shirt with his tiny fist, like a baby monkey!, is beyond precious. Oh, and Daddy's girl Gabriella who has a new found love of hearing her own voice shreik and her healthy, squeezy, chubby cheeks that beg to be covered in kisses. I see so much of myself in her. She's like a little mini-me personality wise.
So, I'll be ringing in the new year with my little family, making homemade pizza and wearing pajamas. Hopefully come midnight we'll all be fast asleep! Now that's living the life. =) I couldn't ask for anything more.
