It has been over two months since I last posted. I think about posting an update all of the time, but my days and nights get away from me.
Since my last post, we have celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas. Amelia has learned new words and learned how to kiss on the lips. We visited the Titanic Exhibit at the Indiana State Museum, which Taylor loved! She is so interested in the history of the Titanic.
Christmas was wonderful this year. Amelia got to really enjoy the holiday and open presents. We put up a tree for the first time ever as a family. I, personally, have not put up a tree in 10+ years due to fear that my cats would destroy it, but it was important for me to have a tree for Amelia. In the end, the cats did little damage. Next year we’ll try putting ornaments on. Taylor helped decorate our living area, and both girls enjoyed the gifts Santa and Mom and Dad got them. We had three celebrations this year, including one at our house. It was great!
But as 2010 comes to an end, I reflect on the year and what a year it has been. Lee starting IU; Lee and I both starting new jobs; our trip to St. Louis; Amelia and Taylor growing in so many ways……it has been quite a year. I hope 2011 brings us good experiences and memories. We never know what the future may hold, but we can do our part to look at each experience in a positive light. May you all have wonderful blessings in 2011!
