The haitus ends?

I don't want to speak too soon.


I just finished a post that I started nearly a year ago and it was only a few lines! In a dim bedroom a few feet away, Thea is sprawled out on our bed; Brent's brushing his teeth in the adjoining bathroom. If I don't hustle, I will be sandwiched between them with little room to move, much less roll over and get comfortable. So I weigh rushing to stake out my spot on our ever-shrinking Queen, versus making good on my months-old promise to start writing here again...

I'll compromise with a short one.

I take some comfort in the fact that most of you are now on facebook, so you've been both saved from the weekly narrative of what's been going on in our lives, and kept up to date with the monthly photo journal of Thea's growth over 28 FB albums (28?!). Maybe you didn't even miss the cessation of Our Diego. This may really be about me. But after this past year, it's about time something was!


Just joking :-)

This past year has also been about more than just Thea, though it's hard to believe that is possible! As many of you know, it was not only Thea's first year of life and our first year as parents, but also the year of a new (long-term) professional position for Jen and the purchase of our first house. Add to that the usual excitement of trips and a nearly constant stream of visitors (and Thea-carers) and you have an easy candidate for Most Eventful Year in the lives of Brent, I or Thea!

So while I don't hope to recap all the fun and excitement of the last 10-ish months since I last wrote, I will try to update you on the highlights, or at least move on from this point forward.

If I can just get some rest (not curled up at the end of the bed?)...

Love,

J
