It is already shaping up to be a good year. John is heading to Africa next week, to document water wells being dug in Liberia, sponsored by MiiR. It is his first trip to Africa, and I feel certain that he is going to be blown away by what he sees. Gorgeous people. Beautiful hearts and spirit. Shocking contrasts that will forever change him.
We will add a new member to our family come March. My sister and brother-in-law are expecting their first child, a son! I am so excited for them to experience the joy of parenthood, and the sleepless nights! I will be watching with great curiosity to see the differences between raising a girl versus a boy. I've never grown up around boys, so it seems like a great mystery.
Isla will turn one this year. Already she is seven months old, and the months just seem to fly by. This year she will learn so many things that she will have with her for the rest of her life. Walking. Eating real food with teeth. Sharing her thoughts, using words. I am so excited to hear what she has to say.
We are planning our first family trip. I think we are going to make the hop to Hawaii, and see all that we can of Maui. It will be a blast, but already the thought of the amount of gear we will need to bring for the little miss seems a bit overwhelming. We won't think of that now, and instead will just savor the planning process.
288 days remain in my goal for this blog. Documenting good news, every day, for a year.
