Auld Lang Syne

It's 11:15pm, New Year's Eve and my husband just brushed his teeth and crawled into bed.

Me - "What are you doing?"

Phaeton - "I'm going to bed."

Me - "Wait, what? It's New Year's Eve! You're not going to stay up with me?"

Phaeton rolled his eyes, whispered expletives under his breath and stood back up.

Me - "hee hee hee"

Phaeton - "Fine. But we're watching Avengers."

I think 2012 was a trying year for many. We definitely had our struggles. But it's been a year of fun, with those we love; and a year of growth, individually and as a family.

Here are a few things we've learned this year -

Adeleigh learned yoga.

And started teaching it.

We learned that onions have purple flowers.

And you don't need toys when you have leaves.

We love leaves.

I learned that the holidays are much more fun with a child around.

And that some of the best moments are captured in your jammies....

...Or maybe at the toy store...

We may be finishing the year out with Kleenex up our noses and the smell of cough drops on our breath, but I feel positively about the year ahead.

Auld Lang Syne, 2012. It's been fun.
