January 2008

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season- I just can't believe it's over and 2008 already!!! New years are always kind of sad to me... it's like it hits me that a whole year has passed- a year I can't take back. And I wonder if I did everything I could have- or should have. Did we create enough lasting memories? Did I take enough pictures and write in my journal? But with it comes the excitement of brand new year. We have a lot of hopes for this year- I suppose you could call them "resolutions". Things are still going well for us. Ian has enjoyed his time off of work, but dreading his first day back tomorrow. It's always so hard to go back when you've been gone so long. And Serra and I will miss having him home all day! Serra is growing so much and just surprising us each day. She can almost sit up on her own now, but she still hasn't bothered to roll over. She loves to stand [with help of course] and she is constantly babbling or giggling- especially if she has her fingers in her mouth. We just love every moment with her- and we can't believe it has been almost 5 months since she came! Time certainly does fly... Anyway, we hope all of you are doing well and have some great expectations for this new year- Happy 2008!!!

Love,
Ian, Kristen & Serra
