Blessings From Home

Wanted...more time

I just have not had any time to get online and post about anything. I'm afraid my little baby boy is a lot more needy than I am used to. I miss getting on here and sharing my daily life with everyone, or even just for the sake of getting it down so that I can remember the days as they pass so swiftly by. But I am thoroughly enjoying the days filled with diaper changes, nursing my sweet boy, and playing with my children.

Our Christmas was wonderful, and the best part of it was that we didn't have to leave our home. We told everyone this year that they are welcome to come by any time, but with a newborn, we do not want to get out and travel anywhere.

It's so hard to believe that Jacob will be 4 weeks old in just 4 days. I am always amazed at how the time flies past us. He's already outgrowing all his newborn clothes, and getting those precious chubby cheeks that most breastfed babies have. I would love to share a recent picture, but my camera is acting up. Just know that he is precious.

This week I'm working on clearing out the Christmas decorations and getting ready to start back to school with the children next Monday. I'm also working on my New Year's Resolutions. I know so many don't like resolutions but they really help me to stay on track, and I actually achieved most of my goals for this last year.

My family and I were blessed in so many ways this year that I can't express our happiness.

~Our biggest blessing is our new little one ofcourse.

~We were finally able to buy a home after renting for nearly 3 years. It's not in the country as we had hoped but it's enough property to have a large garden and lots of other things, not to mention the home is just perfect for us.

~My husband was not one of the many that were layed off this last year.

~I was able to bring all of my children back home with me where they belonged, and are loving schooling at home.

~Although I was pregnant for the most part of this year, I still managed to lose more than 40lbs!

~My husband and I's marriage has grown stronger than ever.

And there is so much more that I could list, but my time has run out.

So if I don't make it back here for a while, you know where I'm at. And I'm wishing you all the happiest new year for 2009!
