The end of a year, the close of a book.

There should be some kind of post saying what a grand year it was, listing all the accomplishments, listing all the good things.  

And there have been many.

I have two sweet little baby boys added into my life.

B. Carter, named for his grandpa

And wee Marcus who looks so much like Grandpa.

I started a new job, I moved, I packed and cleaned and sorted the house.  (I have great kids or I would still be doing that) I almost built a life of my own.

That is a lot for this year.  It hasn't been easy.  It isn't easy.  I am not sure I will ever find easy again.  I think the best I can give you is this.  Still standing, after all these tears.  It might not be what people want to read but it is honest and in that honesty there is hope.

Welcome 2015.  I look for more and better.  

Not sure how the the girls are going to top my two sweet baby boys though.  They might rebel at more babies. And there is just nothing better than babies.

2014 has been a grand year.
