It is already nearly the end of December, the end of the year!!  Life is busy and full as usual.  There are times when I find myself not wishing, but wondering what it will be like when the kids are older and coming and going on their own.  The idea of a cleaner, more organized house sounds wonderful; but the thought of a quiet house terrifies me.  It is in the quiet times that we are able to see more clearly what we have, and what we will some day be without.

I have really enjoyed this monthly project with the kids.  It is amazing and fun to look back at them over the year and see how much their faces have changed. They have grown in so many other ways too, from their language to their everyday skills.  Each of them so different in their own way. I am looking forward to this next year and all the adventures it has in store for our family.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
