2017 Parenting

Life feels just nuts these days- in hindsight, it's been nuts for a while. I somehow still have this vision for the future that is more relaxed, more fun... I hope we get there.

In any case- how does anyone do full time work and parenting and feel like a relative success at both? It seems impossible... the more time and effort you spend on one, the more you feel like you're falling behind on the other. Not that I regret my job in the least- I don't think I'm cut out to stay at home and this was the right choice for us. When I'm at work, I love it. When I'm at home, I love it... just wish they fit together a little better.

So, 2017 for the boys: should be a good one.

  • See Uncle Gary and Aunt Lynn in February
  • I'm sure see Grammy, Pop Pop, and Aunt Sarah at times throughout the year
  • Potty training begins!
  • Turn three on April 7th
  • Will decide on preschool, make reservations
  • Possibly move to "forever" house??? Put in an offer on one...
  • Hoping to spend more time on the lake shore
  • Planning to do some gardening and simple cooking with them
  • Choose and meet our last au pair in June/July. Sniff, sniff.
  • Summer weekend camping?
  • Go to the Maryland cottage over summer
  • Perhaps a road trip to Colorado
  • Grammy and Pop Pop's around the holidays
2017 for the rest of us:
  • All the stuff above
  • Andrew takes his second and third semesters of grad school, dives headlong into new job and client
  • Laura adds to her staff, does strategic planning, manages 4 summits and ~200 classes, trams and custom classes
  • North Carolina wedding in April
  • Laura conference in June
  • Sarah's parents visit in May
  • Sarah finishes in June, moves to new apartment and work/study as paramedic
