It's 2008 and I can't help looking back at 2007 in awe of what has changed. At this point last year, we were very comfortable in our house in Byron Center, with two little boys and with both our jobs going well. We kind of chuckled at the notion of moving to England. Now look at us...another boy (a sweet, sweet one at that!), we are in England, and I am officially a stay at home mom. I must say, it was quite the roller coaster, but I really am glad that we've done what we've done. Already we have traveled and seen things that most people never see in a lifetime. Our kids are experiencing a different culture and Jacob is even teaching us a few things about the "English" language.
So, as we look forward on 2008 we wonder where it will take us. I hope that it is rather uneventful in a sense of moving and other life changes. We are meeting new friends and keeping up with family probably better than we did in Michigan due to technology. It all seems right.
So, our resolutions for 2008? Mine, as always, is to drink more water. Tom, as always, refuses to have a resolution. Our family's resolution? See as much of the UK as possible. It will be fun to look back on this next year and see.
Tomorrow? Off to London to ride on the London Eye!

Joy, Alison forwarded me an e-mail with an update on your son. Sorry to hear about his stay in the hospital. We know all about that and can sympathize with what your family must have gone through. Hopefully 2008 will be a healthy and happy year. Be sure to keep in touch.
Katie, John and Jack Ostreko
