2015 Begins

This is my motto for 2015...

Saint Teresa of Calcutta said the most amazing, inspirational things during her life. She was a true hero and a beautiful woman of faith. 

Elizabeth got some roller skates for Christmas from her Grandma Steph. She absolutely loves them and spent a couple of hours practicing in them a couple days ago.

She's a little wobbly and a little unsure of herself, but she's doing great so far and with additional practice I am sure she will get the hang of it.

Until then, thank goodness for protective gear!

I have been on vacation from work for two weeks and it's been wonderful. This is my daily outfit...cozy yoga pants and a comfy sweater. Pure bliss. 

We had some visitors on the last day of the year. This little cutie pants, Riya, and her older sister, Lily. They stayed to play for a couple of hours and the kids enjoyed the time with them immensely. Ella and Lily played most of the morning in her bedroom with all her new toys and Riya happily entertained Nicholas who was absolutely enamored with her. 

He LOVES babies. But who doesn't?

We rang in the new year with close friends who live around the corner from us and the kids made it to midnight. Ella napped earlier in the day, so she had plenty of energy for the evening. 

On new year's day, Ella & I went to mass and we saw my parents sitting in the church when we arrived, so we sat with them and they treated us to lunch. What a treat! It was a wonderful way to begin 2015!

We wish all our readers a happy and healthy 2015!!
