2013

I thought about writing a post reflecting on 2012 or one looking forward to 2013, but as you can see it is already January third. Neither ever turned into anything more than a fleeting thought. If you haven't figure it out yet we are living right smack in the middle of the interrupted years.

Thoughts interrupted.
Conversations interrupted.
Sleep interrupted.
Healthy living interrupted.

AKA the baby years. Yes there is lots of joy, but sometimes even that is interrupted!

So three days late here are my in between feeding and changing and cooking and "more milk please" thoughts.
I guess the main thing to say about 2013 is that is is going to be the beginning of big transition for us. In April we will move our family back to Tennessee and in June we will welcome our third child. I cannot even tell you how shocked I would be if you had told me that is where we would be a year ago. We've done this whole move across the ocean thing before and the transition period came as a big surprise.  I knew it would take a while, but I didn't realize how long. This time we'll be doing it with kids and our plan is to build a house so I imagine that we're looking at several years before we are truly "settled". I'm hoping that just being aware of that will make it easier.
