But let's start with the fun stuff shall we? I would say almost all of our best moments have a common theme: Family. Austin and I are lucky enough to have the support of my family behind us. I don't talk much of being a single mom, but honestly it sucks a whole lot of the time. What makes our lives easier is having a loving family to help. We are not perfect, but we sure know how to have fun. Austin has cousins he adores and lonely is not a word in his vocabulary. From fingerpainting to museum visits to Disneyland he has had a blast this year.
Now on to the not so good stuff. Most of our worst moments also have a common theme: Medical. If you have been reading long enough, I don't suppose you are too surprised to find that our worst moments involve medical mishaps & our nursing personnel. I cannot wait until either issue is no longer a part of our daily lives. But until then, I hope to be able to continue to find the humor in it.

I love any moment that involves Austin. Love the pictures in this post. Janis you are such a great Mom and you and Austin are so fortunate to have such a loving and caring family. Thanks for allowing me to take a peek and be a part.
Janis I messaged you last night in response to my updates. Via your contact on your blog. I just didn't want you to think I wasn't responding.
Best,

Happy New Year! I love looking back at the posts...Austin is so precious, and I love coming in to peek at your site. All the pictures melt my heart! I know what it's like to have such an amazing family to stand behind you through the hard times. I think we're both very lucky to have that. :)
Janis, I'm so glad to have "met" you in 2009. It's a joy to read about cute Austin and his adventures. I love your blog! :) I'm dreaming with you that 2010 brings more happy moments!
