Welcoming the New Year
It’s a new year and I think it’s high time to get back into the blogging routine after a holiday hiatus of close to three weeks. We have hundreds of pictures to sort through so we should hopefully have pics of family Christmas gatherings (yeah, boring to most of you), Faithwalkers, and our highly exciting New Year’s Eve party posted soon. 
Over the last few weeks we survived a $1200 car repair that thankfully ocurred before we got on the road, nearly a week and a half of traveling, about four or five Christmas celebrations, going to Faithwalkers with Madeline in tow (bringing a baby to a conference is tiring!), and returning home again to throw a new year’s party and then a birthday party for Naomi a couple nights later. Now I’m busily trying to finish my Daylights editing and do lots of pre-semester admin work all before our spring leaders retreat this weekend! Whew! What a crazy life!!!
My New Year’s resolutions include doing my part in keeping better track of our budget on a monthly basis, getting started on a system for housecleaning, getting two boxes of paperwork items filed or thrown and actually doing a baby book for Madeline. It’s more of a “big project” to do list, but we’ll see how it goes!
Happy New Year!
