2009 in Pictures...the finale!



Christmas Eve Snow!



With A, R, and K by the fire - I promise there's a fire to my right!



With K and Cooper...K loves him so much it hurts (Cooper, that is!)

Hasta la vista 2009...Bring on 2010 and all the promise and potential that comes with new beginnings!

I loved all of the pictures! And I will say this; even though I'm doing everything that I always said that I wanted to be doing at this age (married, raising kids and staying at home with them), 2009 was the hardest year I've had in a long time. Some days I really feel so unhappy, something that I never thought I'd feel now that I'm doing exactly what I always wanted to be doing. And I still compare myself to others...wishing that my kids could be more cooperative (instead of having a fit whenever I tell them "no"), wishing that they enjoyed sitting and reading a book with me, wishing that Grant wanted to learn his numbers (and wondering why he has no interest in learning....he just wants to jump around all of the time!). And many times, I do the exact wrong thing in a situation, and I feel like such a bad mom! It is so easy to wish your life was different, even when you have everything you ever said you wanted.

I love listening to Nancy Leigh DeMoss....she is single and probably almost 50. She is an amazing teacher and I've thought that I would probably learn even more from her if I were single. Such a great example of a godly lady who hasn't allowed her marital status to affect her life! You're probably very familiar with her but she came to mind when I read your post. Lots of love, Alissa
