It’s become a bit of a tradition for me to do this end-of-year meme. It’s not as lovely in narrative flow as last year’s seemed to be, but then again, this was a kind of disjointed year, from a bloggy perspective. A lovely, full, hectic, but ultimately wonderful year. It’s hard to imagine that this time last year, we were still a family of four, waiting (im)patiently for the Player to be Named Later to make his big entrance. So, for the sake of tradition, here it is: the first line of the first post of every month in 2008.
- Those of you who know me well know I don’t usually bother with resolutions.
- Okay, I admit it: it’s been fun dragging y’all along on this crazy ride with us.
- The boys laughed uproariously when we watched a preview of Mr Bean’s Holiday at the theatre, so Beloved thought it would be a good Sunday-afternoon family movie to rent.
- Lucas and Tristan have had a lot in common.
- We’ve talked about circumcision and strollers, breast and bottle, slings and baby carriers.
- Sorry about the downtime.
- It was one of the hottest days I can remember, the steamy tropically oppressive kind of heat that reminds me of my childhood summers in Southern Ontario.
- It seems mildly ridiculous to me that I have three strollers and yet am shopping for another.
- You know how when you don’t have kids, and especially if you go through a period when you’re not sure that it will ever happen, you have these images in your head of what life with your kids will be like?
- Not a day goes by that I am not amazed by the simple fact of their love for each other.
- With Halloween barely put to bed (with a sore belly from all that candy, no doubt) we’ve nary the time for a breath of air before the season of Santa Claus parades is upon us.
- Uh oh. Cue REM’s “It’s the end of the world as we know it.â€
Happy New Year to all of you who have taken a moment to read, to eavesdrop, and especially to contribute to the chatter around here. I wish all of you a new year filled with joy, laughter, and wishes fulfilled!
Happy new year to you too, Dani!!
Happy New Year!
I played too!
(And my results this year made me laugh out loud!)
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Dani! (Rock on, Mr. Bean!)
