I can do hard things

This was our family motto for this year. When we adopted this theme it was more a statement of encouragement and in the spirit of nurturing an attitude of fortitude and hardiness, instead of...oh, say, wimpiness and crumbling under pressure. Whether it be social pressure, pressure for Kevin at work, small every day pressures that could lend itself to feeling depressed, you get the idea. Looking back though, I think we did accomplish some big things. Kevin was apart from us for two months while he did away rotations at UVA and MUSC. We learned a lot about our family during that time! Kevin went through the whole interview process and that was strenuous too but, again, he learned a lot in a short amount of time. Jillian was no exception! She overcame the feat of potty training like a champ! We're so proud of her. We never thought so much of our conversation would revolve around bodily functions but we're proud of her. Go Jill!
