Happy New Year!! It's 2009!

Hooray for 2009! I'm so happy to still be pregnant for at least a little part of 2009 :) Evan will be a 2009 baby after all!!!! I find it very fitting having my 1st baby in 1999 and my last baby in 2009. A decade of pregnancies! Hard to believe!

Here are a few pictures us on New Year's Eve with my enormous belly (of course if you have been watching my pregnancy blog you have seen how gigantic I am now). The kids were really into posing for the camera on NYE and these were the only 2 belly photos we took. They all smiled right off the bat! :) Toomas says I'm training them well!

We had a really fun and laid back New Year's Eve. Both Krista and Erik stayed up to greet the new year and watch the neighborhood fireworks. Erik had to have a nap during the day to stay up, but they were both LOVING the late night exitement! We opened a bottle of "Champomy"...kids bubbly, and we toasted in the New Year together!

I thank God for all of his blessings in 2008 and pray for continued blessings of health and happiness in 2009 (for all)!!!

The end of a wonderful year!!

Tonight with a tear in our eye we bid farewell to the year 2006, a wonderful year for our family. Never fear 2006, you will not be forgotten! A new home, a new baby and lots of wonderful memories--it was an exciting year and one that will forever live in our hearts and memories. We are thankful for all of God's goodness this past year...and pray that we will be equally as blessed in the year ahead.

I put together a slideshow of our special first Christmas in the new house. This holiday season has been a wonderful reward for all of our efforts during the building process--cozy Christmas fires, delicious meals prepared in the new kitchen.... It is amazing to have this dream a reality and the baby we dreamed of here with us also to share it! Praise the good Lord!

Happy New Year and blessings to all for a beautiful 2007!
