New Year 2013

I woke up in a panic.

Where have the last two years gone? Are my old posts around or have they been lost in some cyber world, never to be remembered? And if they are lost, so are my memories. Ugh. Is this a sign of dementia, old age, or just motherhood?!

And then I realized that if I do not post I will forever forget Ivy saying, "Mom, you make the best pot stickers in the whole world" (even when they are frozen/fried and from a bag a la Costco).

And what if I forget that last week Wyatt told me, "Mom, no one loves you as much as I love you."

Things like that are worth holding onto.

I especially don't want to forget Ashton's indoor soccer game last week when he was on fire and actually dribbled through some one's legs!

Or Ruby's first babysitting job and how excited she was when she came home after successfully putting two darlings to bed...texting me after each was tucked in. She loves her new ipod touch. It makes her feel so grown up.

And what if I were to forget that this week was the week Cade started letting me kiss him goodnight on the cheek again after a month of eighth grade angst?

Ahhh...so as much as it hurts I HAVE to record life. As it is. In the middle of all the craziness and yelling and laughter. If not it might go away forever and be forgotten. How sad that would be.

May I be the second to say, I am so happy!!! I thought it was a mistake when your blog was at the top of my updated list. I love keeping up with your life. I have a renewed desire to record the little things too...all the cute words, sayings, etc. and a blog is the easiest way for me to do it. Also, I need your email, so we can set your brother up with my cute friend :)! CAll you soon.
