As New As It Gets

The beginning of a New Year always invokes images not only of renewal, but of newness – a clean slate, a chance to start over, a time to reflect and then plan for the year ahead. We’re starting off the year with a new commitment. We’ll be joining the 52 Snapshots of Life, a weekly themed photo challenge. This week’s theme is “New”.

CindyLu celebrated her birthday this week. She’s another year older, and starting out a new year in more ways than one – 2015, and her 8th year of gracing us with her precious presence.

And you can’t get any newer than a new family member. Donovan Lennon joined our family a little over a month ago. You might remember my daughter Becky, of Becky Sorrentino Studio (and mini pet portrait fame!)…well, Donovan is the first child of Becky and her husband, Mark.

Donovan joins Brooklyn, his cousin, in making me a bona-fide Grandma. I still can’t get used to that reference, though. I swear, I’m too young! (not…)

CindyLu is looking forward to the little guy growing big enough for her to play and snuggle with. Isn’t it great how we always have something to look forward to, even if we don’t have it right now?

Here’s to a fantastic year for all of us, full of dreams coming true and more dreams to anticipate…

Happy New Year!
