Happy New Year: 2014

2013 has been a good year for the Luther family.  We are blessed with our health, family, friends, and above all, our God.  While there was a tragedy within our close friends circle, we try to lean on God's understanding and plans and not our own.  I know that 2014 is going to be a great year because we will continue to put God first and rely on his plan for our lives.  I am not a huge resolution maker, but this year, I do want to start letting go of the small things (house being cleaned and straightened, etc.), and I want to be "unplugged" more.  My goal is to not be on my cell phone each evening until the kids go to bed.  In our world, we are so tuned in all the time to our phones, and I feel that I am losing out on valuable time with my children, and I don't want to look back and regret that.  Kathryn and Kaden are only going to be little once and that time is now.  So, I am putting my phone down, and I am not worrying about the house being perfect all the time.  Here's to 2014!!!

All the kiddos (the real party animals!)...they had a BLAST playing at the Bowles House

Thank you Haven for having us all over for New Year's Eve dinner and play time!  Kathryn and Kaden were in bed and asleep by 8:00 (which was late for them), and Kyle and I were not too far behind.
