2014 was good. SO good. It's our last year as a family of three and it was a year full of embracing life and all of it's ups and downs. It was a harder year as I adjusted to being pregnant while still being there for Lia. But when I look back after writing this post, I see all the calm and happiness that was wrapped up in this whirlwind year we've had.
2015 is right on it's heels and I know it's only going to bring new changes for our family. Changes we'll love and embrace and hope for more. Let's do this 2015, show us all the love and good and madness you've got for us.
