Here Comes Another One

Wow, didn't do so great on my 2013 resolutions that I had planned. It's crazy, and sad, how time gets away from us. I so want to feel more productive this year and not have regrets of wasting the time that is given to me. Three words came to mind when thinking of what I want this next year to be like: purposeful, patient, and present. There are many things I would like to implement or accomplish (from last year!) ~ PURPOSEFUL. I need to learn how to be more patient with others, mostly my family ~ PATIENT. Doing these two things will help me feel more present in my life and enjoy what I have right now ~ PRESENT. I am grateful for what has been given to me and look forward to what is in store this coming year! Happy New Year!

Psalm 118:24 ~ This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

A Night Out With the Smalls

This was our first time eating out with the two youngest, and they were a hoot! We celebrated DrH's birthday and baby girl received a new doll from Nana, the first of many I hope. I sure miss that stage with the older girls. We ate at Caz's Chowhouse (yum!) and then stopped by Mod's for gelato and coffee.

First baby for her ~ thanks Nana!

He wanted his picture taken EVERYWHERE

And again

Mod's sits next to the Philcade Building (era 1930s) and we were able to dine in there. Little man wanted to explore.
