The year we got to spend together, really together. So much of it with family and friends and seeing amazing places. Florida and Yellowstone and beaches
Our dogs
The obvious, my gun-loving, war mongering boys and my girl who loves anything they do (yesterday she said, “the death star blew up and the good guys had better guns.”) but is also starting to like baby dolls and she even found there’s an old doll house in her bed room.
The other obvious, my fly fishing, kayaking, running, math geek sweetie. Its a good thing we found each other ’cause I don’t know who else would put up with my messy control-freakness. Or my wanting to cook and never clean.
Trains, I’m thankful for trains
and Reno and Omi & Opa
Tennessee and Riverpoint
And grandpa William and Grandma Janice
Sunsets and sunrises right before weather comes in

Brothers playing together and playdates with friends
That butterfly-y feeling in my chest when my kids do something amazing, like sing in front of a group, or say please when they’re supposed, or check on someone who’s hurt instead of walking right past, or walk up to me and say, “mama, I love you”
Kind teenagers (not always an oxymoron)
Good Food that I eat too much of
My Tennessee and North Carolina family and friends and the months we got to spend with them. Otter and Tucker Mac talk about Valarie or Clay or Emerson or Solana or Roman Roman Roman. I’m soo glad they got to know cousins. And papa and Duck Duck.
