It's the Year of Expansion!

Well, Christmas has come and gone and we are now in 2007, the year our Deather will join us! We had a great holiday season. It's funny how we were thinking about all the things that will be different next Christmas. We didn't travel, which was nice for me because road trips are not so pleasant right now. And an extra blessing was having everyone over to our house for Christmas! I got to cook all our favorite "traditional" dishes (Danny and I started our own traditions during our first Christmas) and share with friends and family.

An added bonus for the holiday season is that we celebrate our anniversary. As of December 3oth we have been married for 3 years. We spent the day as true expectant parents, purchasing a "new" car to replace the "dangerous" SUV that we had. So, we are now safe and ready for car seats in either vehicle:) Danny traded in the VUE for a 2001 Volvo S40. So, with my 1998 Volvo V70 we feel quite certain Deather will not be in excessive danger regardless of which vehicle we must carry him/her in:)

Also, we finally got started on Deather's room! One piece of pannelling is attached to the wall! Danny is doing some electrical work to reduce the risk of fire hazards in the room as well. I took some before pictures yesterday, so as soon as he gets them downloaded to the computer we can show you our progress!

It's funny how you continually look ahead to next "?" when you expect things to be different. When you are in high school, you think "Next spring break, when I'm in college..." and when you are engaged, it's "Next Christmas, when we are married..." The "next's" become more unknown when you throw another human being into them, especially one who can't wipe itself or sleep predictably! However, I think that the "next's" with kids are, for the most part, more exciting than the "last's" (as in, last Christmas, last summer, etc.)!

We keep thinking that next fall we have to start planning our life around school! Yikes! tc
