Catching up

Gregory always teases me that this blog has become an online photo album of Nathanael.  In one sense, it is definitely true.  And I know that many of you like (and even want) that.  In another sense, it's also the reality of the first couple years of being a mom.  It's difficult to give attention to much else outside of caring for the babe and keeping up with work.  And usually, nobody wants to hear about work.

All of that's about the change.  In a few short weeks, we leave for Vienna.  My work will no longer entail packing and preparing and assisting Gregory in the development stage.  It will be all about language learning again!  And I know that I will have some great stories to share with you all from that.  You will have many a laugh at our expense.

But the pictures of Nathanael will continue.  Sorry to all of you non-kid-picture-people.  You will have to sift through the posts if you dare. :)  This boy will continue to take up a large portion of our lives.  And we will continue to praise God for the incredible gift of Nathanael in our lives.

I haven't posted in a month, so I've missed many blogging opportunities.  Here were some of my favorite captured moments...
