May, cheered on our little fish while he swam across the pool each Saturday


June, decided on the ways to arrange furniture in two of our "new house" living rooms.


July, cried at the news of a new baby to be, and cried at the news it was not to be


August waved goodbye to our bright eyed Kindergarten Kid


September, renewed our faith in ourselves and our neighbors. 14 days no power (Hurricane Ike)


October, celebrated births newer and older with parties and candy


November, played, papa, party, Port Aransas beach


December we got snow and Martin in Texas for the Holidays.

As the year comes to an end, I like to reflect on the parts of 2008 that are our lives. I hope that in 2009 we

smile a little more, fight a little less, snuggle a little longer

play harder, love deeper, dream, believe, embrace what makes us, us

eat more vegetables, sleep in more, plant a gargen, find more frogs, skip, pretend more,

dress up more, embrace our talets, influnce more, serve more

write more letters by hand, eat out less, play outside more, swim in a lake



Live Love Laugh

Happy 2009!!!

Thanks, for making us part of your always
