Tonight was the annual American Heritage Girls' Daddy-Daughter Dance. So Daddy and Daughter had a dinner date at her favorite pizza place, then went dancing.
This is our daughter's first snow. {We don't get much snow in this part of Tennessee.} She was so excited, and of course we were excited for her. Memories being made. Lots of playing! We also made a treat for the birds, using pine cones, peanut butter and popcorn. And we got a treat too...snow cream. Yummy! Nice to have an opportunity to slow down and just enjoy being together. A fun day for us all!
So it seems, sometimes, the world around you keeps on going – moving, living, unaffected – yet your world feels as though it stops all together; I don’t know how else to describe it. In November we found out that we were expecting again, only to have a miscarriage last month. Quite honestly, I haven't felt much like talking - let alone blogging, and yes, it has felt almost as if our lives have paused while we see the rest of the world carrying on. So, once again we are slowly trying to pick up the pieces and trying to move on. We are thankful for a new year. It helps to feel like we have a fresh start, and a ‘new beginning.’
Last year I found this idea on Pinterest. It was suggested that throughout the year you write down your memories in little notes and place them in a jar/box, and then read them at the end of that year. So we tried this throughout 2012 and read them today for New Year's Eve. This is such a wonderful idea! I really hope that you will try it. We read through all of our memories from the year, the good and the bad. Things that had already been forgotten and other important life events that we are now glad to have noted the date on. We will be saving our 2012 jar as an archive and will definitely be doing this again throughout 2013.
