Another Promise to do Better

Okay, so I promised to write in my blog more often and then I don't. I'm hoping to get into it more. I actually kind of miss it.

Today is a tough day. A year ago today we lost little Elena. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of her. Today, Abigail, Jeromy, Mom, Alex, and I are heading to the zoo to see the Elena's hippos. I have a lot of fond memories of Elena at the zoo and she loved the hippos. I think this is a great way to remember her!

A New Year!!! Welcome 2011

I know it is almost February, but I have decided to get on the ball and start writing in my blog again. It was a rough 6 months rounding out 2010 and I am happy to see it go. We are still struggling with the loss of beautiful Elena and life seems strange without her. It always will and we will always miss her. Life for any of us will never be the same.

Abigail is growing quickly. She talks and moves a mile a minute. "Always on the go" is a saying that definitely applys to her. This new year has brought a couple of changes to her life. First of all, she is now in a big girl bed or as she calls it her "good girl bed." We also just took away her pacifier this week. That transition is not going as smoothly. All in all I'm enjoying the ride of being called "Mommy."

She's awake now, so I won't be able to write all I wanted to. Hopefully I won't be such a stranger on here.
