William and I usually enjoy a quiet New Year's Eve at home. When we were dating we tried to celebrate with friends and/or family but since we've been married, we're more low-key. We usually go somewhere for a nice dinner and then ring in the New Year watching one of the many countdowns on TV, but this year the weather changed our plans (much like it changed our plans to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary back on December 18).
Papaw came for a visit early in the evening but as the end of 2009 neared, Andrew was fast asleep in bed and Megan was enjoying a late night feeding. William and I were comfortable on the couch and rang in the new year just as we had hoped.
So what are our resolutions this year? As always, we plan to enjoy every minute we can with our precious children and try not to take a minute of their childhood for granted. Sure we'd like to loose weight, maybe give up a couple of bad habits, save money and even travel more - but if we can stay happy and healthy, that's all that will matter. We trust God will provide, as he always does. We are blessed beyond measure and very thankful for it.
And one of our latest blessings is Miss Caroline Rose Hoffart, born New Year's Eve to William's brother Richard and his wife, Julie. Congratulations to Richard, Julie and Big Sister Ella!
