Happy 2009

We had a nice, laid-back New Year's Eve. My mom keep the kids over night at her house and Richard and I went to dinner at Sonny Williams with our friends Richard and Brandy Harp. We had good food and good conversation--it was the perfect evening!! The best part was that we slept till almost 10:00 the next morning--I can't think of the last time we got to do that. After looking at several other blogs, I have decided to post some of my favorite pictures of 2008. (WARNING: There are A LOT of pictures)

After going through all of these pictures, it is amazing how fast time goes by and how quickly it seems like my kids are growing-up. I hope that I can remember to slow down during 2009 and really enjoy each day. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in 2009!! Of course we are looking forward to welcoming a new baby in September. Happy New Year to you!!
