Happy 2013! As I was logging in this evening, I could not believe that it has been over a year since I posted anything on my blog! I guess I've been a little busy adding a tiny addition to our family. Harrison James entered the world in October, and he is bringing so much joy to the Gibb household! I am still adjusting to the newness of having TWO babes to care for each day, but I promise to be around here more!
I am not really into making new year resolutions. I don't really know why, but I have just never really bought into it much. This year I'm feeling a little differently, though. We are getting pretty close to moving on from the Washington, DC area and starting a new assignment this summer. I often find myself reflecting on the past 3+ years since we arrived here, and I cannot believe how quickly time has passed. There are so many things I wish I had done differently..so many opportunities passed. So I am using the new year as a new start. I will be posting on my blog to try to keep myself accountable to this goal. Each week, I'm going to find a new goal to add to work towards. That's 52 goals! Whew! I challenge you to do the same! Imagine how much change we can make, not only for ourselves, but for our family, friends, and everyone we come in contact with. The potential amazes me. So...here we go!
Week ONE!
As our family grows, we get busier and busier, and I do not want to take this time for granted. I am extremely blessed to be able to stay home with my babes, so I want to grab hold of each and every opportunity I have to hug them, kiss them, teach them, and play with them. Being a mommy has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I imagined what my kiddies would look like, what I would name them, and how much we would love each other. And here I am, a mommy of two adorable boys and one precious girl. My first goal of the year is to focus more on them by focusing less on my iPhone. So here's my public announcement, that if I don't answer your calls/texts/emails/posts right away, it's because I've shut my phone in another room of the house and I'm loving on my babies! I love love love technology and the convenience of social media, especially since being a military family keeps our family and friends from getting to experience day to day life with us. I promise I will still make time for that..just more intentional time!
Before I go, here's a little look at my inspiration for this goal. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend more time with these beautiful babes?
