A recap of my 2007.
- I started off 2007 5 months pregnant with our third child. We knew we were having a girl.
- I was driving a new Honda Minivan that we succumbed to at the end of 2006 (see #1).
- Our big family vacation was a trip to visit the Big Mouse and all of his friends and Princesses which was quite difficult for me (see #1).
- I started a new position at my company in February. It was a huge move and I am still not sure I am fully getting it yet.
- I took one class in the Spring 2007 semester that was my hardest yet for my MBA. I got an A and haven't been back since. I plan to continue in the Spring of 2007.
- Miss V was born on May 18th at 1:39 am, weighing in at 7lbs 6 oz. Mommy was a week overdue and was sent to be induced after my regularly scheduled appointment.
- I took three months off of work for maternity leave.
- My oldest started Kindergarten this year.
- I entered the world of Mac's in September with my new desktop. Its wonderful.
- My new hobby became digital scrapbooking. I created many pages for the kids' albums and had them printed for their books.
- The big hit at Hanukkah this year was the Wii that I managed to get in September. I am glad I persevered and watched the websites closely so that I could give it to my son. He loves me.
- I started taking my photography more seriously. With all the wonderful photographers out there to inspire me, I spend many hours learning and practicing with my camera (and Photoshop) to attempt to have just a quarter of their talent.
- The final thought as this year comes to a close is to list my goals for next year:
- Continue to spend as much time with my kids as I can. Go visit their schools and get involved in their lives.
- Get back on the weight loss/exercise band wagon <--- Slacker!
- Go back to school
- Work on my knowledge at my job. Learn more and contribute more
- Take a photography class and learn as much as I can about being better

Hi, my girl was born in april..
Happy New Year to you and yours!
I'm glad your son loves you because you got him a Wii...maybe that would help out around here.
LOL, just kidding!
You have certainly had a busy year! Happy Thursday!
Great list, I enjoyed it very much! Come take a look at the most popular resolutions of the New year!

You've had a busy year with lots of changes.
My TT is up. http://collectingmythoughts.blogspot.com/2007/12/thirteen-little-things-when-we-are.html
All my weight slid off when the babes hit about 3 or so... Don't worry about weight now -- just remember everything, like how they felt in your arms, the smell, all their wrinkles & skin folds, where the hair grew & where it was rubbed away... It all passes so quickly! The weight will go away, while you enjoy those moments with the little ones :)
what a great list! I'm with poptart, isn't it more fun to enjoy the kids now and worry about the extra weight later...
That digital scrapbooking sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you and yours are richly blessed in the New Year!

Yep, a very busy year, indeed, HG! I love April babies, btw...
My hair dresser got his niece and nephew a Wii -- in September, too. He saved it for their Christmas.
You guys are to be commended for thinking that far ahead.
Happy TT! I'll try to get lots of wolf pictures, but you never know...
I like the positive way you look at this year's journey. And so many things started! Next year will probably be like the second movie in a series of three - a here to there year!
Happy TT!
Sounds like you had a very busy year. I wish I had a mac...we used to, but gave it up to my guy's autistic brother when his computer broke. I miss it...but it's gone to a better place...lol
A very busy year! Happy New Year!
You've had an eventful year! I hope you have a wonderful 2008
What a busy year! Congrats on the arrival of your new daughter and the job as well :)

Sorry I'm late stopping by this week.
What a productive year you've had! I hope 2008 will be just as wonderful for you and that you achieve all those goals you've set!
You keep on me & I'll keep on you about exercising. Cause I went from everyday for almost two years to "ehhh....i don't wanna" almost overnight.
