Pictured below, Nora reflects on all the growth and experiences of her year... she's done so much, made new friends and definitely learned how to speak her mind! (Where's the "off" button?) Truthfully, this year is blurrier than ever, and I often fear that my brain cells are dying quicker than they should. (That is likely a job hazard of working with those with Alzheimer's dementia...) I do recall working enough, although not in my home as much as I'd have liked. Yet the walls still stand, I'm not aware of any sworn enemies and the sky is still blue. God is our sustainer, and I look forward to a new year of joyful experiences to celebrate, fresh challenges to learn as I possibly seek further employment, and the chance to love my family and friends more each day. No resolutions for me, just the choice to trust God's heart in how He leads us in 2013. His blessings to you also in the coming year.
Our time off school was low-key, but most everyone had a chance to rest. Here's Nora after church, as I try to get her to show us her new dress.
We had an extended family gathering at Cousin Luke, Tricia and family's home Sunday evening. Very kind of them to host it, and to share such tasty appetizers. Sadly I didn't remember to take many pictures...

The boys were able to do something "fun" with Dad by checking out the Winter skate event at the local arena. I was trying to sleep off a shift, I believe, feeling guilty that they were stuck at home so much. :)
