It took me some time to come up with my BAG for this year; and even now as I blog about it, I think that some of it is weak. Oh, well.
B: Only one blessing really stands out for me from this past year. That all of the events unfolded the way they did for my surgery last spring. I am just so grateful that we were here with all of it. I can't imagine getting the same personal treatment if it hadn't been for Eric's dad and his reputation amongst his peers.
A: I had a rather hard time coming up with an accomplishment, I don't feel like I really do much more than be a mom. But I came up with two decent ones. First of all, I finished Davin's quilt. It was my first (and possibly my last) foundation pieced quilt; it used more than 20 different fabrics; and I machine quilted the whole thing. And secondly, I was offered 2 teaching jobs for this year. I turned them both down, and found out a week later that we were finally expecting baby #4.
G: Our goal is a family one for this year. With the Arizona housing market collapsing (it will only get worse through to next year), our goal is to find the right house for us. Eric keeps threatening that it will happen this spring, but I don't think that I could handle moving within a month of baby girl.
Anyway, we hope that you all had a wonderful New Year's, that you have some wonderful memories of last year, and next year will hold just as many for each of your families.

My BAG

There's no such things as a weak BAG. And being a mom is an accomplishment in my book.
I second Tricia's comment--especially being the brilliant, creative, loving, busy, talented mom that you are.
By the way, can I share your B? I had a hard time through that. You're the only sister I have and though I couldn't ask for better sisters-in-law I don't know if any of them love me enough to break a Barbie doll over my head. Alright, so that might be a dubious distinction, but my life isn't quite my life without you.
Now that I can't see the screen through the tears, let me add how precious each of you is to me. I was blessed with the two daughters I needed in my life, and the daughters-in-love that completed my sons. There are no better blessings than family.
