This year we:
Had a month alone, mommy and first child,
while Daddy was away training. It was a special month.
Welcomed Sadie Caroline into the world.
Daddy missed it, but came a few hours later.
Watched Harper adjust to having a sister
(and saw some interesting behavior):
Bought our very first home:
Moved into that home:
Saw Harper turn two:
and our G-Daddy survive a horrific accident:
Had lots and lots of daddy time:
Before we had to say Goodbye:
And then we learned how to be three,
all the while missing daddy with an ache in our hearts:
First day of school:
Ballet:
Learning the rules of play in Harper’s world:
Becoming familiar with the mood swings of a 2 year old:
And the antics of a 11 month old:
And spending our first Christmas as a family of four
apart:
and among other things:
becoming self-sufficent
doing things we didn’t think we were capable of
saying goodbye to too many good men
and looking forward to 2009
and being able to share the photos of us all together again.
Happy New Year, my dear, sweet friends.
Thank you so much for all of the love, encouragement, and sweet emails.
I can’t wait to see what the next year brings, and share it with each of you.
