    Happy New Year, dear friend! We do have so much to be thankful for this year. I almost hate to let it slip away…but next year will be wonderful, too. Won't it?

    Wow, revisiting some of those pics it seemed just like yesterday. How can it possibly be a year since you stood in that snow storn? (Not sure if that qualifies as a snow storm but to a Florida girl any amount of falling snow qualifies as a snow storm!) Wishing you and yours, and all your blog readers a Happy and Blessed New Year, Margaret!

    FANTASTIC post! Loved this. I can't believe Anthony was only born in May! It seems like I've been enjoying his cuteness for a lot longer than that.
    The picture of the two boys in the rocker is my favorite.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
