Eden is in love and demands we turn it on the second she wakes up or enters the room. She is going to be very sad January 1st.

The tree is up!
Our very first REAL Christmas tree. She smells great! Tons and tons of needles on the floor though :) Small price to pay!

One Year Later(!)
It has been quite a long time since we've made a post on our blog. Life has been busy, of course, but at the same time, things are probably easier now than they ever will be in the future.
James is extremely busy studying for his boards while putting in 12+ hour days at the clinic. But soon he will have a job that will keep him away at least 40 hours a week without the occasional lazy student quarter breaks...
Someday we'll have another child and our sweet Eden won't be the only one seeking our attention 24/7 with her giggles and demands for crackers, bananas, etc. I'm sure we'll find a balance, but for now - I'm reminding myself to enjoy each day for what it is!
Enjoying each day is not as easy as I'd like it to be. There is always another load of laundry to do, dog hair to sweep off the floor, crumbs and sticky goo on the table, etc... Many days I feel like I can't enjoy the day until those things are tended too. But then I sit down on my computer late in the evening to upload pictures, and come across videos I took of Eden during her first few months. Where has the time gone?
So I must reassess my priorities, as all moms do. This truly sums it up:

So in order to make anyone happy, I must first have some sanity. In my pursuit of this I am trying to unplug a bit. I went 30 years and 6 days without an iPhone, why do I feel I need to be on it as much as I do? I deleted my Facebook app on my phone for starters. Maybe I'm alone, but I feel pressure to try to keep up with every detail and post, and comment/like on every.single.thing. No. I don't need to do this. If something major happens, someone will call me. The best thing is just not knowing what I'm missing. Bliss!
So I hope to get back to this blog occasionally, because I will miss sharing photos with family. Eden is too adorable to not have an outlet to post all her cuteness.
I end with this, Eden meeting Santa for the first time today:
