11 Things I've learned from 2011..........
11. There are a lot of kind and caring people in this world.
10. Having 2 kids is more than double the work of 1 kid. Especially a baby with medical issues.
9. The food at Primary Children's is quite good. Is it bad that I enjoy their food so much?! (Including their frozen yogurt machine and their crack cookies.)
8. Our 2 families are wonderful, wonderful people. I don't think we could have made it through this year without their love and support. Dropping everything to help us even when it wasn't convenient.
7. Being a mom is the most wonderful thing in the world. Also the most physically and emotionally exhausting job in the world. I wouldn't trade my boys for a million dollars. (but maybe for a billion dollars I would consider.....jk)
6. Neil is my calming source. He manages to keep his mind when mine is all but shot.....and then helps me regain mine.
5. The best time spent is with family. Whether in a tiny hospital room or in our own home, it is priceless.
4. Obama was right about one thing......there should be NO maximum on how much your insurance pays for one person.
3. You can never pray too much. And you never tire of others praying for you.
2. There is always someone who has it worse than you. You would probably never trade your trials for someone elses.
1. The Lord's idea and my idea of what trials I can handle are very different. But I trust him and his plan so I will continue to carry on. He will not place a huge trial in your life and then leave you alone. He will carry you and strengthen you when you think you cannot possibly handle one more day.

"Amen" to many of these, but for sure for #10. And I'm right there with ya on #7. ;) I'm glad your year went well- considering, at least. Great post. (And darling picture on your header! You look great!)
I learned that you are amazing. You are a fabulous mom and you are handling everything amazingly, even if it doesn't feel like it. So glad I got to snuggle and play with your little miracle/angel baby for a few days last month. He sure is a keeper. Here's to a 2012 full of continued improvements for Jax, and for both of us being able to handle our 3 and 4 year old handfuls we have for sons!
