Happy 2009!

Here we are in a new year... already! I can't believe that Jaydan will turn 1 in just a couple months. It's CRAZY how time flies.

So the holiday season was a mess around here - literally a white, wet, icy, transportation nightmare. We were basically snowed in at my parents for a couple weeks. Karly and Carlos made it in just in time. Once they were here, the airports and the roads were too bad to deal with. Christmas was quiet - we weren't able to get out of my parents' neighborhood to get to Dirk's parents as usual so they ventured here. It was nice to be able to see them on Christmas day. We were able to make it to Federal Way for the annual Boxing Day celebration - it's always a good time. We then spent the night at Dirk's parents and then spent the following Saturday at Doug and Amy's for a belated Christmas celebration. All in all, the holiday went well and we were fortunate enough to spend all the time with family.

New Year's came quickly - snow still on the ground - and we spent the evening with the Malmbergs. Jaydan and Ava happily hugged and kissed all night long and were good to play nicely with one another. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we can keep them good friends... it should be for their benefit, but I think it's more for the parents. ;)

Anyway, we're looking forward to the new year. It's time for a fresh start and we're ready to keep moving forward. Happy 2009 and we wish all of our loved ones the very best!!
