New Year, New Beginnings

Okay, so we pretty much failed miserably on the blog front for the last two-thirds of 2009. Those who actually were reading our blog are now more than familiar with the details of our vacation last April. :) Sorry about that. I think the problem is that if you let too much time pass, then nothing seems blog-worthy anymore – at least not blog-worthy enough to be the first post back after several months away. Oh well. That was 2009.

But now it’s 2010, and the great thing about a new year is that it provides a chance to start over. So, that’s what we plan to do, at least as far as this blog is concerned. We resolve to post more frequently (even if the contents don’t cause a “this HAS to go on the blog!” kind of feeling).

With that, there’s no way to fully recap the last 8 months, so we’ll simply say that we had a wonderful and busy holiday season shared with family and friends. If we didn’t get to see you and catch up, we hope we can do that sometime soon.

For now we’ll leave you with a picture of us from my (Melinda's) birthday.

P.S. Hopefully we’ve gotten to most of you to tell you this already, but if not, yes that third stocking in the picture has a purpose. We’re having a baby (!) and he/she is due to make his/her arrival in late June. We’re so excited and feel overwhelmingly blessed that God has given us the opportunity to become parents! We’re supposed to find out if it’s a girl or boy this Friday, so stay tuned!
