This holiday season has been a very special time for us! This Christmas was our first "stay-at-home" Christmas since living in Indiana (guess it takes me being 38 weeks pregnant to keep us from traveling-haha) It caused us to slow down and really enjoy our family that came to visit... first my Dad & John and then my Mom & John R. I also spent a good deal of time reflecting on how, as we literally wait on a little baby to arrive, about the true miracle Christmas- waiting on the birth of our Savior. 


I crossed my fingers for a Golden Birthday present on the 26th, but Lil' Luke wasn't ready to make his debut! So, Rob & I spent a few more days relaxing (more like he forced me to elevate my cankles-lol), making final preparations and trying to become Babywise ;) 


Now as the year comes to a close I look back on 2009... What a year! We have faced many challenges and experienced so much joy! 2009 has definitely been a year of growth for both Rob & I. I can only imagine how much more this journey has for us in the next year as we embark upon the experience of parenthood! 7 years ago today I met the love of my life and here we are, waiting on the birth of our new family member! Life is Good & God is Great. We have much to be thankful for and feel so blessed.


I wish you all a Happy New Year as you ring in 2010! As soon as our special delivery arrives and we know our names again... we'll post some pics!
