*Ok everyone, I warn you that this may be a bit sappy:)
Well, this is my final post of the year as we are packing up to visit family in NH for Christmas. Last night I was watching a special about decorating the White House for Christmas. The theme was Reflect, Renew, Rejoice. I liked that, and will use it to organize my final thoughts.
Reflect
This past April my friends and family helped celebrate Lucas' upcoming arrival with a shower. I remember feeling so excited looking at all of the gifts for my baby, but also looking at all of the faces of people who were sharing my anticipation for this new little one.
In May my mother-in-law joined us to celebrate Mother's Day with a wonderful brunch!
In June my friends threw me a shower here in Virginia.
And in July I met my son for the first time.
Renew
In this new year I renew my commitment to my wonderful husband, who brings so much joy to my life. He works hard so that I can stay at home and be with our son each day, and when he gets home he finds energy to help out with whatever I need, never forgetting to give me and Lucas a kiss as soon as he walks in the door.
Rejoice
There is so much to rejoice about this year! We have an ever-growing group of family and friends that have enriched our lives in 2009 and will continue to in 2010! Most of all, I rejoice in the new family that Steve and I have created through our love for each other and God.
Happy New Year Everyone!
That was a very thoughtful post. I liked it.
