Welcome 2009

So I can't believe that it is 2009. Time goes by so fast with 2 small little boys. I feel like time goes even faster because we want to cherish all the little things. I am so thankful that I have started this blog because it allows to remember some of the small things that happen each day. Granted it is hard to write every funny story but it is better than nothing. There are moments that I wish everyone could be a part of but would probably not happen if we were all standing waiting for it to happen. I am sure that the boys will grow up saying "oh gosh, mom". But I'll take it.....

Here are some flashbacks from 2008.....

Grayson Max was born on July 24 at 403pm. A healthy 9lbs and a welcome joy to our lives.

I turned 30 on July 1st....Wow I can't believe I am no longer in my 20's. Where did it all go?

The Ya-ya's (Shelley, Kelly, Ashley, Jen, and I) went away in May for a girls weekend to Florida and had the most relaxing weekend ever. I am thankful everyday for great friends.

Jeff and Chrissy welcomed Cooper Hannah on July 22nd. They were checking out when we were checking in. Oh yeah - Courtney started middle school this year making us all feel a little bit older.

The whole family went to Aunt Dot's in September for a camp out in Pa.

Donna Lynn (cousin) had her first little boy in October. She has 3 beautiful little girls that will be great sisters.

Billy's stepsister (Brianna) got married to Jason in June. We were not able to attend because I was too far along in the pregnancy.

We traveled to NC for Thanksgiving this year and had a very nice time and then picked our beautiful Christmas tree from a farm that Billy grew up going to. He would never say it but I know that it meant a lot to him to take the boys there.

I know that there were plenty more but that is what I can think of right now. Have a happy new year. Best wishes to all.
