2010

Finally! I'm actually mailing my 'Happy New Year' notes & cards this week! A preview...
...................................................................

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

2009 was quite the whirlwind! Everyone forewarned us that both parenting and law school are very difficult & energy intensive ventures. None-the-less, we proceeded, perhaps naively, thinking, “How bad can it be?”

All I have to say now is…

“OH. This is what they were talking about.”

And, everyone also said, becoming a parent is the best thing they’d ever done and the most rewarding and worthwhile. That is also proving to be true. Isaac is obviously our pride and joy and he is such a happy & contented baby. We are very fortunate!

So—that said—you’ll find us to be even crazier, as we’re hoping to have news very soon about a baby brother or sister for Isaac! We’ll keep you posted on that front.

Other than that, our life now is pretty chock full of lots of ordinary, mundane, but wonderful family moments.

Have a great year! Love, Dave, Tara & Isaac

And, yes, I AM FREAKING OUT--Dave's school effectively goes through mid-summer this semester. He's taking summer school. So I've booked us a weekend here mid-way through to save my sanity. For some reason, both Dave and I are having a really, really hard time getting back on the saddle for this semester's ride. Must...slog...through...two and a half more years.

Must be we know now what we're really in for and what it's really like!! Isaac reaching the terrible twos is also factoring in for sure!

More soon as I emotionally come to terms with this whole thing and can snap out of it -- I may even resort to better living through chemistry...with Dr.'s blessing of course! :)
