Personalizing

This is a picture of myself and my family from May 2013.  

My husband is holding our brand new baby boy (born in March 2013) and our daughter is three years old. 

This drawing was done by my three year old daughter.  She drew this picture while I was working in my office.  She showed it to me told me a story of what she had drawn.  It still amazes me how children can go from drawing scribbles to all of sudden going to drawing objects that now look like something.  She was very proud of herself when she drew the "people". 

 

I have many favorite children's books that I enjoy reading. Right now it is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. This book brings back memories from my own childhood but it now also one of my daughter's favorite books. We love to read this book together. I love that it is teaching her rhyming and the lesson of trying new things before saying you do not like it. 

 

 

I have been going back to this quote over the past year in both my personal and professional life.  It's just a nice reminder for me that I need to keep looking forward...

 

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
