Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but I am really not ready for a new year; I do know, however, that it doesn’t matter if I’m ready or not, because it is here!!
Do you set new year’s resolutions or goals each January? I think that I set some official resolutions once; that was enough to convince me to never do that again. :) However, this year I decided to pick 1 or 2 things that I will attempt to do differently. See - very different than setting a resolution, right?! For 2013, my attempt at a new behavior is to be more deliberate (aka less procrastination). If I think about doing something, I just need to get it done rather than spending the next 2 months thinking about it or fretting that it isn’t done yet. This new deliberateness includes regular posts to my blog. How am I doing so far?!? Yep, it is the end of January and I’m just now posting my January 1 blog entry. Oh well, I blame work. You’ll note that I will make no attempt to come up with a different explanation for my poor communication habits!
In light of the New Year, I decided to post pictures of some new things that have happened at our house lately.
#1: We finally put a child-proof fence around our pool so that Erik can go out on our back deck and play without us holding his hand the whole time he’s out there. This was done near the end of November.
#2: We hung a swing from a tree in our front yard for Erik. This was also added around Thanksgiving time. At the playground this past fall, Erik never wanted to get out of the swings. Now that he has his own, he will only swing in it for about 5 minutes before he wants down!
#3: Kent & I decided to give each other a joint Christmas gift this year - an Acura MDX! It is a 2012 model that was a service loan vehicle and has about 6,000 miles on it. But that means a discounted price! I still drive the Volvo while Kent drives this. The Lincoln is for sale.
#4: This last new addition hasn’t arrived yet, but should be here this summer. Baby #2 is on his/her way and plans to show up on June 23, provided the doctors are correct. We are very excited, though Erik has no idea how his life is going to change. We are working on getting him to say “Baby” now.
