Happy New Year!



Word of the Year: Discipline

Being an even number fan and my favorite number being #10, it has been a bit sad saying goodbye to 2010. However, I am starting the year with a drive toward higher discipline in my life. Discipline to lose the weight I gained during our infertility treatments, discipline to spend more time with God so I can be who He intended me to be, discipline to get my "bucket" filled by God, so I can give more freely to others.

Today we started the New Year playing in the park, with Bailey running like a puppy even though she is going to be 11 this year, and cherishing every minute of laughter from our wonderful daughter. Life is good... :)


Do you have a word you've chosen for this year?

Happy New Year to you and your sweet family! I LOVE your word for the year and the whole concept of discipline - definitely something I want more of in my life too.

My word for the year is "Strong"

Mardi, it's me Gramma. This is my first message with my own computer. I can't believe it & I don't know how to get to this again or how to get out. NEED LOTs of help! Gramma.

Happy New Year Mardi! I sure could use some discipline as well! If I had to choose a word for the year it would be "fearless". :) Thanks for making me think!

I thought I already left a message on this post....oh well....my word for the year is "contentment"

I love this picture of you and Lauren! Your hair has gotten so long!

When you get a chance, go back on my blog and try to listen to the video with sound...Kai talks about Lauren and it's so sweet!
