Happy New Year. Is it really 2009 already! Seems like it's got to still be like 2003...where do the years go? I am excited about starting a new year and honestly a bit nervous too. I love putting my Christmas tree up early...this year we did right before thanksgiving in hopes to "enjoy it a little longer"...but as soon as Christmas is over I am ready to take it all down! I mean... like the next day! I am always ready to clean up the house, de clutter holiday stuff, buy a new planner for the upcoming year and get on with it!

2008 was a great year for us as a family. We celebrated lots of first with our precious little one. It is crazy how little she was last Jan. and now I have a toddler! January brought us trying out the exersauser for the first time learning to roll...what a big accomplishment that felt like. February brought beginning yummy rice cereal and going to the church nursery. March began in a flur..with Jess and Ryan's beautiful wedding and e's first Easter! April brought sitting up and scooting..and beautiful spring days. May brought crawling, giving hi-fives and first ear infections. June meant first beach visits and the neighborhood pool. July brought real food for e and pulling up on everything! In August we celebrated daddy's 30th and a trip to Fripp Island. In September we traveled to Atlanta for a wedding and e learned to walk. October began with e's first birthday party and ended with the cutest cow I'd ever seen. November brought Thankfulness for the new life God had given our family. December brought heartache and joy all mingled together. What a great and blessed year it has been.
