Of Looking Back

This is the time of year when I, as with nearly the entirety of the world's population, tend to consider all the changes that can occur in just one short year.

As of the beginning of 2010 (Is it really ending already?  It seems we've just begun!), we knew our family would welcome a new little one in just a few short months, but at that time, I fully believed there was a baby girl in my womb.  Sometimes God surprises us in the best possible way.

This year held Micaiah's first flight and Emmett's first breath.  Micaiah's second birthday and Emmett's second tooth. 

So much has stayed the same (our home, our jobs, the love of our families) and yet, it feels underneath that it's changing.  Life decisions are on the horizon and little additions (puppies?!) have completely altered what I always thought about how our life would be.

Here comes another (probably shorter) year.  What surprises does God have in store for us in 2011?  Only time will tell - but for now, it's pretty good at keeping secrets.
