Another busy but incredibly exciting year comes to an end. It's been a busy one - if not THE busiest so far!
Having to handle a toddler in the middle of his terrible twos along with an infant has proven to be challenging.
As all of you know, 2012 has been our first year as a family of four, and we've been loving and enjoying every day of it (despite the many breakdowns, tantrums, complete exhaustion due to sleepless nights and the tears cried by both, babies and Mommy:-)
I feel like being a stay at home Mom is yet the hardest of all jobs I ever had - but yet the most rewarding one at the same time.
Our highlights of 2012:
January 21, 2012 - Stella Rose was born at St. Paul's Hospital/Vancouver, and completed our family.
May 2012 - we took a trip to Germany to see my side of the family - and decided NEVER to travel again, until the kids are grown up :-)
June 2012 - Noah started a part time day care, which was a good solution for all of us - he got to burn off his energy, Mommy got a little break, and Baby Stella got undivided attention for a while.
September 2012 - Noah started a Montessori Preschool Program, 5 mornings a week. He made new friends, got accustomed to new rules, developed new social skills but most importantly, he is enjoying himself in his group of new friends. His has developed incredible language skills in the last few months! Last Friday, it was Noah's first Winter Concert from Preschool - the kids sang Christmas songs, performed, and wished the audience a very merry Christmas, in multiple languages. Noah, being the only German-Canadian in his class, got to say "Frohe Weihnachten" - a bit shy, but super cute! :-) - see little video clip below.
December 2012 - Baby Stella has taken her first steps. No big deal for her, but big deal for us parents, meaning our baby is growing up.
It's been a very busy and successful year for Steven at work, including several trips, early mornings and later work nights. But once home, he dedicates all his energy to Noah and Stella - he's an incredibly loving Dad and every day so helpful to me.
Lack of time for many things is the result of our busy lives at the moment - therefore we decided to "go green" and send our Christmas and New Year's Wishes this way.
We realize many of you haven't seen much of us this past year, but be sure we thought of you all often, and this busy time sure shall pass.
We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new year, filled with love, happiness and laughter - but most importantly good health.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours. We are hoping to catch up with you all very soon.
Love Steven, Patricia, Noah and Stella
