Reflections

Well, the 1st Christmas has come and gone. The kids are enjoying all their new toys, although they didn't get the unwrapping part yet. They just wanted to eat the paper. They got lots of nice stuff.

Today they were baptized. They were very well behaved and enjoyed getting sprinkled. We just had the godparents- Sam, Deb, UB, and Mary- as well as my Aunt Eleanor & Uncle Tom and my mom back to the house for lunch. It was a very nice day.

Tomorrow is New Years Eve. I don't care for this holiday at all.....another year behind us, time is just going too fast. It is a time to be reflective and this year was very eventful for us. In May the best thing that could ever happen to me, did. Reagan and Nolan arrived and I love them a little more everyday. I don't know how that is possible, but I do. They make me smile, they make me feel like I am accomplishing something and they make me feel needed, especially now that they reach for you when they want to be picked up or grab your face and give a big kiss.
In Sept, we moved into our new home. It has been a blessing and a curse at the same time. I love our new neighborhood and the house, but the amount of work that consumed all of the fall and now into the winter has taken a toll on us. I hope in 2008 we can get back on track and back to life as we knew it.
In November, due to my persistence, Nolan saw a cranial facial plastic surgeon and was diagnosed with metopic craniosynostosis. His surgery is in 3.5 days and I don't think I could be more nervous. I just want it to be a week from now and have him on the road to healing. I am not looking forward to our life and the kids routine being turned upside down. I have no doubt my little man will bounce back from this quickly. This has taken a huge toll on all of us. I just pray that 2008 starts off good to us and we see Nolan home and recovering quickly. That is all I ask for. Just to have my boy and girl sleeping contently in their cribs.
