2008

I sort of forgot that New Year's Eve was coming up until last night.  With everyone being sick and us still living out of suitcases I forgot that 2009 is right here!  I was looking around Kelly's blog and she was talking about what all happened in 2008.  She posed the question:

 What's the best thing to happen to you in 2008?



One might ponder why I would post such a horrid picture of myself after 3 hours of excruciating pushing.  Well....this picture is just pure joy/exhaustion/excitement/fear/thankfulness.  It's just raw emotion.  John Michael is our greatest gift of 2008 and of all time.  Thank you God for blessing us with this child.  We will never forget what a wonderful miracle a baby is.  Who knows what 2009 will bring..........

God has truly blessed our families in 2008! Even though there was some sickness this Christmas, it was minor compared to Christmases past. And...we got to keep y'all here for an extra week!! JM has grown and changed so much in just the last few months. We know that 2009 will hold many more blessings and changes. We look forward to seeing him walk, hearing his sweet voice say words, seeing beautiful little white teeth come in, and no telling what other things he accomplishes this year. Thank you God for Your Son Jesus and thank You for our little grandson, John Michael. Here's to a wonderful and blessed New Year to come.
