Goodbye 2008 - Hello 2009!

So maybe twice a year isn't so good a track record. 2008 was insanely busy and I barely had time to breath let alone write. However, I took the social media plunge, got a Facebook account, signed up with Twitter and now I'm even writing a blog post.

In addition, on the personal side, I started personal violin lessons to focus on my technique and improve my playing, started going to church on Friday night instead of Sunday morning and started gaming again with our gaming group.

Theo turned 2 and is now exerting his 2fulness, Avi just turned 5 and exhibits enough signs of Asperger's Syndrome to qualify for services when he enters school. Both of them are exhausting and wonderful and challenging and fun.

Elizabeth started teaching again part time (2 days a week - team teaching with Martha), which has been good for her despite a very difficult class. She is as brilliant and lovely as ever and I'm quite blessed to have her.

Writing takes time, but maybe I can become more dilligent (more focused?) this year as I once again attempt to wrest my time back from the forces of work and life. We shall see. So far 2009 has been good. I'm very hopeful it will get even better.
