2013

As much as it ends, it begins. A fitting saying for New Year's Eve as well as a summation of my 2012. With every bitter sweet ending, (the newborn stage, the chubby toddlerhood, the solo coffee and cookie dates) came a new beginning (the talker, the cuddler, the double dates, the double stroller). I must admit that having 2 was not always easy, but it was always full. Full of possiblity, full of love and light and sheer joy. Full always to my heart's brim. Void of sleep perhaps, but full of midnight cuddles and kisses that wiped away sunset tears. Full too, sometimes of self-doubt, of dirty diapers, and overflowing dishes. Of bumps and scrapes to the skin and the soul. Full of learning how to pick yourself up and brush it off. Remembering that not only is tomorrow another day, but this is another moment. Full of new experiences, new words and phrases, new touches and sights and sighs and loves. Full of dimply baby hands and cheeks, tubby tummies, newborn skin and new found confidence. So, no it wasn't always easy, but I'll tell you what, I will take full over easy any day of the week. Any year. Cheers to the new year, my friends! May someone always refill your life as well as your glass.
