New Years day

Amy: I got my resolutions off to a good start. Writing here will probably be the hardest...but might be the most worth doing. Gonna try to make this a positive, healthy, strong year. And always try to be true to myself.

JJ: He is going back to work tomorrow. We were able to get out together over the break a couple of times, to a movie, to lunch one day. Those were desperately needed because we often struggle to connect. In terms of our relationship I am glad we are out of 2013, when there were points where we were fighting every weekend. Now we have kind of a clean slate...

Merryn: She wanted to wear her new princess shoes to bed. She danced her way up the stairs to bed. When James woke up from his nap she climbed up next to him and said "read book." She was ready to comfort him by reading to him.

James: He has such an angel face. His face lights up when he sees me, which makes my heart melt. He goes to daycare for his first day tomorrow, and I know I will miss him terribly, even though I also look forward to doing a few things around the house.
