Winter

        Christmas has washed over me.  The new year has arrived.  It seems like the year flew by. 
Now my baby is half way to the age of two.  He started the year crawling and ended the year running.  This time of year was when I first met my husband years ago.  We met at a dance.  We danced with each other and kept on dancing.  My parents fell in love through music.  My dad played piano and my mom sang.  Zachary and I dance together and sing to each other just as if nothing has changed.  This year I have grown.  I have had my peaks and valleys.  I have mostly enjoyed myself though and been truly happy.  There were many firsts.  Bruce's first steps and first word.  His first word was,"Uh Oh!"  There were a bunch of other first time moments for Bruce like eating
Birthday cake and sliding down slides.  I wonder what his new moments for this year will be like? 
What will he look like more grown?  What will he sound like talking more?  What wonderful words will he use?  He has started giving me kisses.  Will he give me more kisses an hugs?  Will he start to express his love for me soon?  I can't wait!  That will be the best day.
