Well aside from the fact that we were all hit by flu and cold viruses over the holidays, it was still a great Christmas for us. The kids are finally getting to the age where they can play together without parental assistance and constant supervision. This has led to some moments, not during nap time, when we didn't have to be entertaining them and has made me realize that I might actually have time for a hobby or something.
I'm not even sure I know what a hobby is anymore. Any suggestions? Don't say knitting because I tried that already and it's not going to happen.
The kids are also of an age that we can start some family traditions (Christmas evening drive to look at the lights) and do activities beyond hanging out at the playground or pool or kindergym. Oh, and it means that on play dates, we can actually have conversations with the other adults.
2013 is gearing up to be another event filled year. I'm working towards starting and running my own business once my term position with the university comes to an end. I'll be the owner and sole employee of Sage Memoirs and Writing Services. I'm hoping that my website will be up and running by the end of January and that I'll have a client or 2 on board by the time my job ends.
Kian will be starting kindergarten in September. That means our daycare costs will be cut in half and more importantly, the school has a meal plan so my nightly lunch-making duties will also be cut in half. Sadly, my afternoons will also be cut in half because school ends at 2:30pm out here.
We expect to host my extended family in April and will attempt to take up camping this summer.
Well, the Christmas photos are still on Erick's camera and when we get around to loading them onto a computer, I'll add a photo post for you.
Have a great 2013!
