You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

A New Year

So December hit and that was the end of blogging, I suppose. I've done a pretty good job keeping up with the baby blog, but not this one. Truly, since the holidays have ended, the baby has consumed our lives...a nursery, a 4D ultrasound, Dr.'s appointments every 2 weeks and now almost every week. So...it's been easy to keep up with that one so far.

As for the Jackson Five (almost), we have been busy. I typically remember January being a very slow month, one that seems to drag on forever. Maybe it's because money is tight after the holidays or maybe it's because it get so cold outside that we can't go out and get some exercise. But whatever it is, it has not been that way this year. January has flown by and we have gotten lots done. Aside from all the baby stuff, we have enjoyed hanging out with friends, spending time with the girls before baby Drew's arrival and watching our Gators win our second National Title in 3 years. Sports Illustrated is on the way!!

So, even though I haven't made any New Year's resolutions, I promise to be a bit better at updating the family blog. My intentions for December were good...a blog about how wonderful our Christmas was, how we spent celebrating the new year, and what's in store for us this year. But, you know how it goes. And now that things have slowed down a bit...for at least this week...it's time to get caught up.

Happy New Year!!!
