The first two months of 2014 have been kind, a lot of work, but kind. May 2014 bring many joyous occasions. 

How can it not? My sister and her family are moving home. And I am getting a new sister-in-law. And I am getting two new nieces or nephews?? And I am knocking items off on my bucket list.

Here is to the new!
