Ringing in 2009

So for those of you who may be wondering where all our Christmas pictures are, you will just have to continue wondering. I really didn't even taken more than 2 and I insisted that my sister-in-law not include me in any of hers either. Just know that we had a wonderful Christmas! Even though my doctor recommend that I not travel, we decided to make the 4 hour trip up to Columbus to visit Andy's sister and her family for the 2nd year in a row. They really are the greatest hosts and we had such a wonderful time. I was pretty paranoid about going into preterm labor, but just so you all know, I am still carrying the child. Some days I wish I would just go into labor (although I am not willing to drink castor oil to make it happen)...other days I still feel like there is still so much I need to do. Regardless, time is waning on and we are getting closer to the actual date. February will be a fun month, with visits from both mine and Andy's moms as well as other family and friends stopping in. We are definitely looking forward to that, and I promise to take a lot more pictures!

We are definitely excited/ really nervous about the experiences we know we will have in 2009, especially with the arrival of our baby and the possibility of Andy deploying this March. It will definitely be a year of firsts, but we have been so blessed in 2008 and know the Lord will continue to watch over our little family.

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and that 2009 holds great things for you and your families.
