We’ve just got back from a 2 month trip to Toronto, where we had a lovely time with family and friends. But we are glad to be home, 2 months is a long time to be away… staying in other people’s homes, etc. Now we’re starting to feel like we can actually begin this year, which is a good feeling. We’ve got a few plans and goals for the year, which are exciting us now.

Such as:

- buying a car (looking for something used and cheap)
- saving for a trip to NZ for Christmas
- Maija finishing her thesis before the next baby comes
- welcoming another baby to the family
- starting to look for a new place to live (we will outgrow our current home in 12 months)

Fun times ahead!
