Reflecting on 2011

It's hard to believe another year is coming to a close. The older I get the more I appreciate "time". I believe we all had a pretty good 2011. Georgie is into his second year of college at West Chester University. Jacob's is in 5th grade and moved over to the middle school this year - that was a bit of a change for him. He was dreading moving over to the middle school but once he realized how much more freedom he had compared to the elementary school he ended up loving it! Jake also had a busy year with baseball and karate. He finally broke down and told me he no longer wanted to do karate and said he wanted to give basketball a whirl. He's currently playing for Our Lady of Lourdes church and really enjoys it....Jake loves anything that has to do with sports! Let me tell you ...watching basketball is much more exciting then baseball! Gracie is not such a baby anymore. She's losing that baby look and is pretty much a mini-me! She's a total girly girl and was very active this year with Daisys/Brownies and dance. Her first dance recital was in June and it surely is something I will never forget. I am thankful for my husband and children and the wonderful life they have given me. All in all 2011 had it's ups and downs just like every other year but we faired through it...we always do. We are looking forward to happy endings in 2011 and new beginnings come 2012. We wish our family and friends a blessed, healthy and prosperous new year!
