HAPPY NEW YEAR! Everyone says how bad 2008 was, but Nathan and I agree it was one of our best years yet, with the arrival of our August baby. If the pessimism of the world has got you down, just look at the blessings that abound. We don't have to look far to find the love of family and friends, the security of a roof over our heads, our general health and happiness. Home is where the heart is!
Wow, having a baby and a new year can do profound things to one's perspective.
Our first Christmas Morning- Stella was more interested in eating the wrapping paper than discovering what was underneath it. She got some cool shoes from Grandma Kate so we had fun just taking pictures with her in her new kicks and pink Santa hat.
Stella met her cousins Kailey and Kira on Thanksgiving during their visit from VA. She'll meet 5 more cousins in St. Louis, MO this spring. So this was just a warm-up.
