God wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle...

This little quote is well said. I have yet to figure out my little 9 year old son. Whoever told me that being a parent is the hardest job you will ever have wasn't kidding. How can one little person fill your whole heart with more love than you ever imagined and at the same time make you so frustrated you feel like...well you can fill in the blank!? There is no way to prepare a new parent for all of the emotions and feelings they will experience when they bring that precious baby home. Maybe that is why so many of us stop riding roller coasters... we are on one too many days of the week. I wouldn't trade this experience of being a mother for anything. I find comfort in knowing that my faith, patience, commitment, love, and happiness blossomed when I became a mother. I thank God first then Davis.

The Wii has taken over!!!

A good friend often tells me "God rewards good choices". We have tried over the year to make good choices, in particular with our finances...although we could always do better, that's the perfectionist in me;I'm working on that. Anyways, about 6 weeks before Christmas David won a Wii package deal at his work (Dell). He was elated! All our son has asked for this year is this game system, as we responded with explanations about why we could not get that this year. So we were possibly more excited than Davis on Christmas morning...there's nothing better than seeing your child light up with excitement over something! I crave those moments.

Wii will strive to remember that "God does reward good choices" in the coming year, 2008. I must say the Wii was just the icing on the cake...we were rewarded and blessed in soooo many ways in 2007! Have a Happy New Year!!!
