Determination

In this holiday season - and a quite unusual, intense and busy one for me and mine, I might add - I am running a bit late on my LBC blogging.  But, Maria / Gaelikaa brought this topic to us and I am determined to do my part!  Today, I will be channeling another person, a little person who will be a regular participant from this point forward.



Hi, I'm the newest member of the family, Newbie Fossil!  It isn't easy coming out of one of the nicest spas in the universe to the harsh light of day.  The responsibilities they lay on a kid!  Wake up.  Eat.  Poop.  Sleep.  Repeat.  I mean, it is unending!


Oh, and did I tell you that they packed me up from the hospital and brought me to some place they call home?




I think this is more work than it's supposed to be, right?  I mean, it even wears out my Dad:




I mean, Mom is carrying a load right now and I get how she could be tired:




Still, all of us women in this family hang together and she seems to be doing great in spite of it all!


If they can do it, I can do it!  I'm determined!


But, there are times ...

    She has an entire team wrapped around her little finger! It is beautiful to see a family work together like they should to give the best start to a new life. We are just as aware that big sister needs to always have a place front and center and she seems to really be enjoying everything just like all the rest!
