Welcome! Glad you're here.

Welcome, family and friends! In an attempt to avoid chronic and obsessive Facebook updates ("Max had an A+ burp this morning!") and grainy ultrasound picture's of baby's right elbow (. . . you mean, not each of my 400 friends care to see this?), here you will find updates on Baby Kaplan, our journey into parenthood (the good, the bad, and the drooly), and living as a family of 3. So sit back, nosh on something yum, and click around.

Love,
Heidi, Josh, & Max

2011, you have been berry, berry good to me.

It's that time of year again....the end of it. Time for all of us to enjoy that second (cough-third) brownie, guilt- free as we make the excuse and mental promise of a vegan new year and vow to finally unwrap the food scale. The time to reflect on all the previous year has brought with it, the good, the bad, the sweet, the bitter. For the Kaplan Journey, 2011 has proven to be a year full of abundance: an abundance of support and laughter with family and friends, an abundance of sleepless nights and trying to conclude which way is up most days, and most importantly, an abundance of love for our darling son Max - our every heartbeat, our every breath, our everything. 2011 will forever mark the year Josh and I first became parents; the year I discovered more about myself - my abilities, my strength, my dragons - than ever before; the year I had a true awakening.

As I think ahead to the upcoming year, I almost can't believe that in the space of the next 12 months, Max will be crawling, walking, TALKING, having his first birthday, eating his first sweet. He's already changed and grown so drastically over the past 5 months, each day practically feeling like Christmas morning again and again as Josh and I get to discover his latest ability, milestone, quirk, characteristic. Life's most precious stocking stuffers :) To think that we get to enjoy this even more in 2012 and beyond, well.... I just thank God for blessing us with such a treasure.

To the readers of this blog, I wish each of you a heartfelt Happy New Year. May you take it into your own hands and create for yourself a year you are proud of. May you use your talents, impact the world for the better on whatever scale you can, and wave to your neighbors. May you enjoy good health and appreciate the good health of your loved ones. May you experience moments of real belly laughter, the kind of moments where the humor sticks with you years later, to be enjoyed all over again.

May YOUR Journey be a wonderful one, in the upcoming year and all the years thereafter!

Happy New Year!

Love,
The Kaplans
