One Comes To A Close As A New One Begins…
As 2007 comes to an end it is a time for reflections of the past and a look to the future. 2006 had closed with a resounding THUD with loses, broken bones and an operation. 2007 was sure to be better… We Hoped!
With the new year there was plenty of changes and excitement. The wife got a new job, we actually had success with getting pregnant again and things seemed to fall into place.
Some Highlights…
- Wife left her old stressful job and found workplace bliss just 7 miles from the house
- Number 3 is on the way… February 8th Due Date

- Spent Another Wonderful Year with my kids at home…
As I look forward into the new year I look forward to meeting my new son. Sleepless nights, diapers and of course the little man being himself. I have dreamed about another child for what seems like forever and now we are just about there. What the future will bring I have no idea, but there is one thing I do know for sure. My Life, My Love, My Heart is with my Family…
The 5
- Number 3 - After so much disappointment we are just weeks away from having another child. We had an Ultra Sound today and everything is going PERFECT!!!
- New Year, New Lease - On our life that is. With the new year there will be many changes and the chance for our family to be complete. With these chances I have a new focus on health and the future of our family.
- The Sleep Never Comes - After 3 1/2 years of little sleep with a son that rarely sleeps the night we will be bringing a new little night owl into this world… Looks like at least another 3 years before I can sleep…
- New Year, New Blog Goal… I post about 250 times in 2007, for 2008 I want to hit at least 365 posts… 1 a day plus bonuses…
- New Year… New Look - I have some new looks and features that I have been working on. One of those will be a new banner once # 3 is here… So look for many more posts and some new looks.
Yearly Observation: No matter how grim one year may have been, there is always next year for improvement… 2006 was a rough ride, but 2007 things improved…
Be Well and Have a Happy New Year!!!
