2016 has been a year of disappointments, struggles, and family moments that helped keep my eye on the future.
Check out some recent images from the year. Before Fiona left town to attend college, she and her mom enjoyed a cup of brew in the mornings.
A snow day in North Dakota…step-great-grandchildren Maddix, Bella, and Lilly…and their mom.
Christmas morning in LA, with Aaron, Aubrey, and Alec…home from their various universities.

Those same three with their dad at a Laker’s game.

My niece Amy and her husband Rick, left two in both versions. A Then and Now moment captured with friends. Amy and Rick were married in 1997!
Amy and Rick’s three tots: Front row, center, Gavin; right, America; top row, right, Luc. The other three are cousins.

Just for fun, I’m sharing something new in my bedroom: the curtain that separates my room into sleep area and ensuite bathroom.
Fiona’s cozy clutter looks almost like an artful arrangement.

A cozy reading day…with a drink.

That’s it for today…this post will be linked to West Metro Mommy Reads, for Saturday Snapshot.

Kids at that age are great for photos…when they get older, not so much. LOL. Thanks for stopping by, Poem Fanatic.

When I see your pictures, I think of the Danish word, hygge. Cozy.
