I can't believe 2008 has come and gone so quickly. We started the off this year in anxious anticipation of the arrival of our precious baby girl Gwyneth, born on February 7th (my mom's birthday). She has been such a blessing to our family, and I still can't believe she's already walking around everywhere, where did the time go?
Before Gwyn was born, Emily put together a "girls weekend" for me and some friends here in Houston, and we had such a good time. We had many visitors after Gwyn's birth, which was such a blessing...going from one kid to two is an exponential jump! Rick, Sue, Stacy, and Justin came, and we kept Sue an extra week. My mom came down for almost 2 weeks, and I really took advantage of her! Emily came down with Grace for a long weekend. We were able to visit Tulsa in May, when Gwyn was dedicated. Brian was able to go to visit John in Florida for a "guys weekend" in July, and Claudia came to visit me and the kids. Nick and Erika were able to come down for a week in October with their beautiful boy Rafael. We spent a week in Tulsa for Thanksgiving, I so miss friends and family back home! We went to Colorado with Brian's family before Christmas, and came back home to celebrate Christmas with my family. We are ringing in the new year here at home with the kids, hopefully sound asleep and not disturbed by the fireworks!
Jacob has grown from an 18 month old toddler into a VERY energetic 2 1/2 year old. I realize now how much of a baby he still was when Gwyn was born, but he has really grown up so much this past year. He loves to run fast, loves to do "soccer stance," loves playing with his daddy, he loves to help out with anything, loves to be in the garage with Brian, loves playing legos, and he really does love his baby sissy.
Gwyn is such a sweet baby, she went from crawling at 7 months to walking at 10 1/2 months. She sleeps through the night (finally!!!), she has four teeth and loves to eat, and she just wants to be whereever Jacob is.
We are thanking God and counting our blessings at the end of this year. We are thankful for Brian's job, our house, our family, our friends, our church, and our health among other things. We are really thankful for Jason living in Houston, it has been awhile since we have had any close family living nearby, and we LOVE having him here.
Happy New Year to Everyone!!

Soccer stance! Soccer Tots starts up on Monday at 12:30. I think Josh will go this session and then take a break for a bit and try tball or get ready for swim lessons again.
