Today Ava and I went to Amanda's house to visit her and the kids! It was so much fun! Ava loves playing with her boys and someday she'll love playing with Lucy too. It was funny to see Ava try to "play" with Lucy. Since she Lucy is 3 1/2 months and Ava is 9 1/2 months it didn't work too well but someday that age difference will seem like nothing. Ava and Noah have a little thing going on though, so hopefully Lucy doesn't mind if Ava dates her brother. We are planning their wedding already :)
After the play date Dan and I went and got dinner at Texas Roadhouse (our favorite) and celebrated what a wonderful year we have had. It certainly had its ups and downs. I have found as the good in my life gets even more precious and sweet the down points get even worse and lonesome but that's life. We take the good with the bad. Someone told me recently that life is rather fragile. That is how our creator made it and intended it to be. The idea of life being fragile just got me mad but after thinking about it, because of the uncertainty we can cherish each moment. Thats one thing I tried to live by this year, live each moment to the fullest because each moment is a blessing.
