Looking Back at 2015
Wednesday, December 30th, 2015From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
As the New Year approaches, I always think about the year and what we enjoyed and what we endured. It began with my husband starting a new career. Initially, I was a little worried about the transition, but once we figured out the new routine, it’s been great for our family. Although he is away from us more than we’d like, it’s taught us how important quality time together as a family really is.
Tate started Kindergarten in the fall, uncertain if he would like his new school. Within days, he was comfortable, and he continues to perform well. He’s made new friends, he’s learning all kinds of new things, and best of all he is happy. Tate came a long way. He is still feisty, but he is much more well behaved.
Jack took on a little more responsibility this past year with schoolwork, as well as sports and dedication to both. He is learning to manage his time better and striving towards his goals. He’s learning that things don’t always go his way and sometimes that’s life. He’s helping more around the house and making his mother proud.
I’ve learned a lot myself over the last year. With a husband traveling for work, and two busy kids, my job as a mom is more important than ever. I’m doing my best to keep Jack and Tate in line and encouraging them to excel. Our days are long, but the years are flying by. I’m looking forward to 2016 and all it has in store for us. Happy New Year!
