A Year

Today marks exactly one year since my very first blog entry on 'My Life as a Mom'.  It has been an amazing year and I am so grateful to have shared all of my memories, both big and small, right here with you!  Thank you for reading!  It means so much to me to know that there are people out there that care enough about us that they'd want to know all the little, mundane details of our everyday lives!

I have spent some time over the past while looking back and reading past entries.  Some stand out to me, not because they were big events, but because they captured the little things that make this time of my life, at home with Sydney, so amazing.  There were all those tea parties together, and the time that Sydney accidentally locked herself in the house all alone.  There were dozens of playdates at our house or other's and countless shopping trips.  These memories, along with the bigger ones, birthdays, Hannukah, our annual trip to Maui have weaved together a tapestry that I will forever hold dear.

I look forward to many more years of sharing our lives here and being able to look back and reflect on what a wonderful life it truly is.  I feel so grateful to be Sydney's Mom, she is the best gift I have ever gotten!  I love her more than words could ever possibly express and I know that years from now, I will wistfully look back on this time with her and wish I could have hit the pause button at this moment in time, it is, in a word, magical!

The photo for today is 'my personality':

That's me, big giant teeth, smiling most of the time.  I have a pretty easy and cheerful personality, I've been told!

Here's to my first year as a Mommy Blogger!
