What a difference a year makes!

2008 was a BIG year for our family! We went through lots of adjustments and became a family of four! When I think back to where we were a year ago, I really realize how much has changed in just one short year.

* Last year at this time, we were hoping and praying for a new baby. In February we found out that we were finally expecting. On October 23rd we welcomed Andrew Michael into our family and now I wake up every morning to this sweet little face.

* Last year at this time, my "baby" was potty training.

Now he is my "oldest" and is the best big brother ever! He is so self sufficient and a really good helper. He gets me diapers, wipes, burpies, or anything else that he is physically strong enough to carry. He has gone from playing with cars and trucks to being enthralled in pretend play. He loves costumes and taking on the roles of different characters and superheroes. He has changed SO much this year!

* Last year at this time, we were living in our little rent house and trying to decide where we wanted to plant roots for our family. Now, we live in a house that we have worked hard to make our own. We have joined a church that we love and met friends that we adore. The house hunting was really stressful, but we can see how God led us to exactly where we needed to be.

What a wonderful year 2008 was! I am sure that 2009 will be just as sweet. Happy New Year! We pray that the Lord will bless each of you in the year to come!
