Vision for 2013 Part 2: Charming Charlie

This year was the first we experienced with two young, active children. This time last year Charlotte was still very much a baby. This time going into the new year she is a vibrant, energetic and fearless
20 month old.


Charlotte is the apple of her daddy's eye and I love having another girl in the house. She'll climb into bed with me in the morning while frank is getting ready for work and snuggle up close face to face like she's telling me secrets.

This year I was so proud of Charlotte because:

- she has learned so many things and amazes me with how quickly she grows and comprehends.

- she is a sweet little nurturer. From tucking her baby dolls into bed to patting our backs and nuzzling us when we pick her up, her tender heart is apparent on a daily basis.

Goals for Charlotte in 2013:

- start to instill more structure and discipline in her life. She is gracious in taking and as she turns 2 we will begin to teach her to be gracious in giving.

- learning more about our values. CBS is a total must for Charlie this year as it has been during her nursery time. The "twos" class is where Sam received truly incredible teaching. I was so amazed at what they taught these little ones and I look forward to experiencing it again.

This year in Charlotte we saw:
Love, affection, kindness, beauty, joy

Virtues I am praying for our girl:
Generosity, salvation, patience, peace.
