January 1, 2014 It's a New Year

January 1, 2014 FB Post:  What a difference a year makes. I was trying to remember what we were doing last New Years Eve and it just hit me...skiing. It was Gracie's first and only time. With her dad never more than a step behind, I sat my pregnant self in the lodge ready to warm frozen fingers, wipe noses, and fill the hot chocolate. I posted these pics last year as such a proud and boastful mother. I post them now, still so very proud, but with such grief and sadness. What a difference a year makes.
