December 2011

Yes, I am still alive. I have been so neglectful of my blogs. I have been concentrating more on my family and trying to survive. I have been having personal struggles with myself, with me not being who I want to be or where I want to be on many levels. I want to be more and better in my spiritual life, a better mother, a better photographer and overall creatively, better physically, to name a few. I have been wrestling with it for months and don't seem to have made much ground. I thought I might take some time catching up on my blogs before I am so far off that it seems pointless. Or have I gotten there already? I have so much going on in my head I don't know how to clear it out. So I will just try to catch up a little and hopefully de-clutter my brain.  Does anyone else have struggles?  Please share  if your willing. I could use some company.

So December was my babies first birthday. Another issue I am having, him growing too fast. He is so fun and runs me ragged all day. He is walking and is into everything. As I am cleaning the kitchen he is pulling all the dishes out of the dishwasher and all the cupboards. I save that chore for while he is in his high chair or bed now because he seems to create more than I can clean up. He still seems to get sick often, although the ear tubes do seem to be doing there job. I love him to pieces and want to eat him up, but when bedtime comes I rejoice in the peace. :)

I wanted to take a shot similar to his newborn shot near the tree. He barely sat still long enough for this one. I posted his newborn one below. He was so dark and now so blond. :)
