Happy New Year everyone! We hope you entered 2012 with a good feeling. I know I did. From about September 2011 Jack has had a bit of a mad schedule at work, working up to 90 hour weeks. This meant that we hardly saw him. There would be days in a row, where Tim wouldn't see him at all and there were also some days like that for me. Jack would get home around 1am, when I was already asleep in bed and would get up at 5am to go back to work without me seeing him. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and just hope that the person lying in the dark next to me is actually Jack and not just some random person, 'cos it really could've been anyone! :)
Either way the first part of his big project is now done and we hope to be able to spend more time together. I also hope now that I'll be less of a single parent and will have more time to study, which I very much neglected towards the end of last year. So yeah - we are all looking forward to spending more time together as a family and that's really something very good to look forward to.
Our travel plans for 2012 involve us going to Novosibirsk in March to celebrate Mum's 60th, and then the same for Dad in October. We might squeeze in a few small trips in between depending on Jack's leave situation.
We also hope to be a little more consistent with the blog and emailing. Even though we wish that in the beginning of every year, who knows - may be this year it'll be better :) I realised that in 2011 we wrote the least amount of posts since starting this blog in 2005.
In any case - we wish all of you also a very good, happy and healthy 2012!!!
Catching up in my blog reading!
ReplyDeleteGreg's got a manic work schedule at the moment which started a couple of months ago so I know how you feel! He's often coming hone very late! And working on weekends. I hope the hours improve soon!
