Last Post of 2008

Happy New Year's Eve! Seriously? 2009? Where on earth did this year go? This has been the fastest year of my life! We have so much to be thankful for. Austin was only here for the second part of 2008, but somehow I can't remember what life was like before him.

Austin's 2008 sure was a busy one! In July he made his grand entrance into this world. A moment in time his Dad and I will never forget. In August he was baptized into Christ with family and Godparents by his side. September brought his very first birthday party for his good friend Finn. October was the first time his Mommy embarrassed him -- dressing him up as a turkey for Halloween! In November we all gathered to be thankful for the blessings were given this year. This December he celebrated his first Christmas with all of his family and friends.

Austin, I look forward to spending many more New Year's Eves with you! (Until you're cool to hang out with us anyway!) Thank you for making us a family this year. It's definitely a year we will always hold close to our hearts.
