A Very Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas at home. It was nice to stay home and start traditions that I hope will carry on for years to come. Charlotte loved the wrapping paper, tissue paper and ribbons....the toys inside took a backseat until all the boxes and paper were finally cleared. She is now starting to explore the loads and loads of toys she got from Santa!

Christmas Eve with Eliza

We really had a great few days, but couldn't help but miss our little angel Beaux. He is missed everyday, but during this Holiday season he has especially been on our minds. How sweet it would be to watch them play in the wrapping paper together. We can only honor his memory by saying a special prayer for him at our Christmas dinner table, hang a special ornament just for him and create ways to still include him in our holiday traditions.

Today is one year to the day that I was admitted into the hospital for bedrest and one year since I started blogging. It started to relieve some extreme boredom while being trapped in a hospital bed, but it has become so much more.

The blog has been such a great way for me to communicate the fun stuff, the hard stuff, the sad stuff and mostly to document Charlotte as she grows. Thanks for checking in, reading and commenting. What a journey it has been so far! As I have learned this year, "Life goes on" and I hope you will continue watching us as we keep on keeping on!!
