Goodbye, 2014

We spent the last day of 2014 with the extended family. It was a special time for us all because little dude and the baby welcomed a new cousin who just turned a month-old. And little dude, himself, will be attending K1 in a day's time.

2014 was, as expected, a gruelling year. I took little dude out of school because he fell ill just too often at nursery, and the baby was getting some nasty infections from him. So I had two kids at home, day after day, juggling meals, toilet requests, playtime, outings, reading time, diaper emergencies, meals, clean ups, baths, nights of disrupted sleep, and the odds and ends...

But I made it.

And I am thankful for family and friends who came when I needed them. People who lent a hand here, a listening ear there. People who carried me along when I was too tired to go on. It does take a village to raise a child.

We're looking forward to a smashing 2015!

When they're not screaming at each other, they're actually pretty nice.
