Here we are beginning a new year...at another new address.
The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind. More than a month ago, Joel was offered a job at the CBS affiliate in Memphis, Tennessee. After soul searching, weighing the pros and cons and looking at every possible option before us, Joel accepted. Then, the monsterous task of packing up our lives and moving again. The actual task was put off until only a week before moving day...Joel was working non-stop preparing KPTM/KXVO for his departure...and I was at home with the boys...need I say more. Naptimes were a good time to get work done but those only last an hour or so. Trying to get things done while they "help" is pretty difficult, too. They're really good at unpacking though! Mainly with the goal of finding a good empty box to hide in.

Mainly with the goal of finding a good empty box to hide in. Anyway...We were absolutely overwhelmed when a good friend of ours, Cathy Beeler arranged for a moving party to come over and get us started on the packing. It was a terrific way to say goodbye to some great friends and look ahead to our new life in Tennessee. (You never realize how much junk you have until it's all being shoved into boxes.) Then, our amazing moms arrived to help us get the rest of the apartment packed...WOW!!! What an unbelievable help they were. Thank you thank you thank you Lolly, Grandpa Dick and Nini!!!!! On Friday afternoon, 1/6/06 the caravan to Tennessee hit the road. Joel's mom and I with the little boys in our Hyundai, Joel in the tightly packed Honda and the other half of the Tennessee connection (grandpa Dick) in the Ford Escape following us. We were quite the group!!! It was a long 2 days filled with sore throats, a stomach virus, a lost cell phone, and a fever of 102.6 (Porter, as soon as we arrived at our new home.). But we made it. Safe and sound...our belongings are here with us. Joel is loving his job and this is the absolutely best part...he's home by 4 in the afternoon. We have dinner together, the boys play with daddy, we tuck them in and read a story ... together. This is what we've always wanted. All the pieces are falling into place.
Friends, I have been horrible about keeping in touch, especially recently. But I have made a New Year's resolution...no it's not to lose the baby weight...I promise to be better about keeping this blog updated and I will be better about keeping in touch.
This move has reminded us that we are blessed beyond imagination with wonderful friends and family. I truly want to keep tight the ties that have meant so much to us in our lives.
Much love to all of you. Please enjoy the updated blog!!!
Always,
Amy, Joel, Max and Porter Rosenberg

Wow, that was a sudden move! It sounds like it is the perfect place for you, I hope it all works out fabulously. I will miss just 'bumping' into you in Omaha, though. The boys are still as cute as ever, and really getting big! It's hard to believe that all happened almost 3 years ago! Aren't toddlers fun?
You still are the only twins officially of mine that I've delivered, but this week I stepped into the twilight zone here in Crete for a few days. Within 24 hours, 2 of my OB patients were found to be carrying twins. I'm really excited to hopefully get to deliver them here, but if they go before 35 weeks, I'll have to give them up to the docs in Lincoln, since we don't have all the resources here that I did in Omaha. I'm praying they have healthy,easy pregnancies.
Best wishes for you all, and thanks for the updates. It's so fun to watch to boys grow up!
