Happy Holidays!

Is it really 2009? It feels like just yesterday we were hanging out in 2008. Huh. I don't know about you guys, but we had an amazing year and a great time celebrating the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. This past year was a crazy year for us. Some of our more memorable highlights include having Adri and Matt starting his own business in the month of April. What a roller coaster both of those events have been. We have learned many lessons and been blessed in amazing ways through them both.

Speaking of Adri, it is hard to believe that she is 9 months old. She is pulling up on everything, trying to walk more and more everyday, and much to Matt's dismay, only babbles the word momma. She is more than willing to stand at the edge of her crib every morning and talk while smacking her binky on the side of the crib until one of us gets up to get her and change her diaper. And then really she would be happy sitting in a shallow box of packing peanuts with her sippy cup if we would allow her such niceties.

I am really sorry that I have not updated in three months, but in all honesty, our lives our insane right now. Matt is working about 40 hours a week on top of running Blueview Creative, and I recently got a promotion that requires me to be at work more often as well. Adri absolutely loves daycare (most days). She likes her teachers and every time I check in on her she is standing at the same bookshelf just looking around the room and trying to decide if she wants to move or not. Pretty adorable.

She is currently working on getting six teeth. Yep, read it twice. SIX TEETH. This round might have gone by completely unnoticed by Adri except for the fact that soon after the teething nightmare started, she got an ear infection which just wont go away. We have to go back in two weeks to have it check on again. Other than her ears and teeth she is doing well. She is in the 50th percentile on height and head, but she definitely takes after her daddy and is in the 25th percentile on weight. Matt keeps teasing her that we need to bulk her up a little more. All she knows is she is getting more food, and she couldn't be happier about it.

So, we will ring in the New Year by showing you some of our (well, Meghan's since Matt is completely passed out) photographs of 2008 . . .









We love you all!
