And the 2012 Mother of the Year is....

...not me.
Ok.  So not keeping up with a blog doesn't make me a bad mother or warrant a call to CPS.  But I have been feeling a little bit guilty about not devoting much time to Rocco's little newsletter.  The reason I have not is because I have been devoting my time to Rocco himself!
Most of you know this year has been extremely difficult for the Gilmore/Fortuna family.
Eric has been ill.  We lost a close friend to cancer.
And while we have been extremely stressed emotionally, financially, and spiritually we have been elated with our little man.
Rocco celebrated his first birthday with about 40 of his closest friends.


He took his first steps.
Visited the beach.
Has been taking swimming lessons.

While 2012 been a year of struggle and sorrow it has been a year of pure joy and excitement.
If I did not have Rocco to take care of I don't know where I would be.
I am truly grateful for this gift of motherhood.
And grateful for all of you who care about my son and make his world a wonderful place.
Mama is tired from chasing him around in circles all day.
I promise to write something more interesting soon.
