2010!
A year ago I read about someone choosing a word for the year, and I liked the idea. However, I didn't do it last year, couldn't figure out what my word should be. Last week, while having a conversation with a friend, I "discovered" and committed to my word this year: Balance.
Seems like such an easy and basic word. But it really is all encompassing and deep. I think it may include backing up the 4700 some pictures on my computer and in hopes it runs a bit faster.
To help us cheer in the new year, Grandma and Grandpa came last week. It has been really nice to have extra sets of hands and to play a little man on man vs zone defense --
or is it offense that I have been trying to play?
Extra cuddles are always good.
It's a good thing we went to bed early on Dec. 31st, January First was a late night for us! Whether she wanted to spend some one on one time with me or we were just meant to ring in the new year by meeting our deductible the first day of the year, Laurelei and I spent over four hours at the ER. While playing with friends outside, her elbow dislocated again with the nurse maid elbow. Thankfully it was nothing more serious, but it did take some serious twisting, turning and pulling to get it to pop back into place. Grandma pointed out that each time they come to visit we end up going to the hospital or ER for someone ~ not a good trend to have, however it is convenient!
We have been keeping the grandparents busy, hiking, going to the park, getting pictures taken, and various projects around the house, big and small. The biggest and still on going
argument, I mean project is between Grandpa and CJ --one thinks that watching football (sports) is fun, one is trying to get the other to swear off watching all sports ever again. You choose who is on each side and who might win.
Big helper!
Honestly, 2010 has begun very well for us (well minus the trip to the ER) and is promising to bring us unexpected surprises and of course a roller coaster of emotions. Through it all I hope to strike balance in all we do.
