Twenty Fifteen. Welcome. Been thinking of all the unknowns, ambitions, and firsts to come with this new year. Some exciting dreams and plans for this year - one being welcoming a sweet new babe to our family. Looking forward to the day we lay our eyes on this sweet child for the first time. Overwhelmed by the thought of how our lives are going to change. We had a warm spell on Sunday so Jon and I took Chloe outside to enjoy the mild winter day. As she was running around and enjoying the cool sunshine I realized that it's true - the greatest gift you can give your child is a sibling. She needs a playmate. It's time.

Week 29 was visited by a shorter than normal work week. Declan and I also had a doctor's appointment - he is perfect, and measuring around 3lbs at a best guess. He continues to hiccup like crazy, move like a wild boy, and wake up in the middle of the night at the slightest sound. This morning we beat the sun up - by many hours! It was one of those early mornings where you can choose to moan about the blackness outside your window, or embrace the early morning rambunctious 2 year old who despite her insistence of doing acrobatics across the bed, she'll still find a moment to be calm and quietly snuggle up close.

It's Monday. Got a head start on the week. This means we are headed in the right direction, right? I know for sure that it means it will be early to bed tonight! Frigid temps are visiting us - in fact the cold weather blew in with a vengeance late yesterday afternoon. January, you're here for sure, and lucky for us, we have winter woolies to combat your winter bite.

Enjoy the week!
