Who stole 2008???

I have to apologise for not sending out Christmas Cards this year. I usually do enjoy sending out a yearly update of our family, but 2008 just seemed to slip away. Paul's theory is that the older you get, the faster the years seem to go because they are a smaller proportion of your life. So when you are one, it's a long time between birthdays because one year is 100% of your life, right?? Stay with me here. But when you are, say, 30, then 1 year is 3% of your life, if I did my maths correctly, so it goes really fast. Are you with me? It sounds good anyway.

2008 at a glance:

• Caleb arrived 25th May, our fourth boy. Praise God for another healthy happy baby boy.
• The house progressed a fair bit, with the internal WALLS going up, woo hoo!!, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
• A nice family wedding in April with Paul's sister getting married, where we got to catch up with some family and friends.
• A nice 'calmer' year of the Youth Group and Awana Kids Club including a great trip to Lake Burrendong in November.
• Jacob began Little Atheletics in October. After a few initial hiccups he really enjoyed the last session before Christmas - restarts February.

2009 at a glance (so far):

• hopefully we'll move into our house within a month or two (February is the current estimate, yes - February 2009!)
• Jacob and Jeremy are currently doing swimming lessons
• Jacob will officially start home schooling
• Jeremy will also start home schooling, unofficially, as he is keener then Jacob!
  

We had a really nice Christmas and a quiet New Year - J&J stayed in Canberra an extra 5 days by themselves. The Grandparents are now recovering, and I's is delighted to have them home.

And finally, just in case you were wondering, yes Caleb at seven months is still so cute...
