Happy December! This month I hope to live with intention. Every day setting a goal for myself and for our family. This time of year Sten and I start talking about all the highlights of our year, and I love being in a habit of remembering the good things. The times we laughed a lot and felt secure and loved within the confines of close family and friends. I hope to make lots of memories this December. I hope we can look back 31 days from now, and say: That was a really good month.
SO onward and upward! Here are my favorites from this week.
1. Lucy started swimming lessons at the YMCA and I seriously cannot handle what it's done to me. The amount of pride I have for her is not healthy. I want to tell everyone I meet how good at swimming she is in just 5 little weeks. She absolutely loves it as well. She cannot wait for Monday mornings and asks almost daily if it's a swimming lesson day. I can see why parents love to watch their kids play sports, it is an instant joy-bringer. The Y has this slogan that says: 'Confident at every age', and I think that is just it-- her little confidence is soaring and it makes me happy.
2. The MOA! I was driving home from a workout yesterday morning and just had this inkling to go to the Mall of America with the kids. Lucy has only been when she was a baby, and Olle's never been, and lets be real-- there is something magical about malls during Christmastime. We live 32 minutes from the MOA, so I have officially decided this will be a winter getaway for us. We had so much fun traipsing around, taking advantage of all the fun things to see and experience. I think LEGO land was our favorite and since they really encourage play, we spent a lot of time making little lego people, and building things in their 10 lego tables.
3. Our anniversary was Tuesday. After we put the kids down, we opened our favorite bottle of wine in the world and talked at the kitchen counter. It felt just like us. 9 years, and a million adventures in our pockets, we're still obsessed with each other. I have a feeling year 9 will be our best yet!
