Goodbye 2008... G'Day 2009

Christmas and New Years that was... 2008



I did a bit of an "I spy Tiny"...

Its been 2 of the busiest week's of my life!!! Full of fun, frivolity, food and family... with just a touch of sadness, as we said our final goodbye's to Grandma. December 2008, will certainly be a month that we will never forget!!!

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to this wonderful lady, who is officially a Mama!!! PIPO we are absolutely thrilled for you. Your daughter is just perfect (almost as perfect as ours?!!!! :) Fingers crossed our intineraries overlap, we'll in GZ for 2 weeks?!!

Oh yeah, and after almost 3 months of no interest at all in our house sales... I now have 2 inspections in the next 2 days?!!! It doesn't rain unless it friggin pours!!!

I'm peaking with anticipation, as we enter into 2009. I said last year - "2008 will be great" and my slogan this year is

2009 will be deeeeevine!

Oh, I do hope you and PIPO are able to meet in China. Our closest family friends are ones we met in the Detroit airport on the way to Beijing. Congrats, again! And love the photos of your photo in all the places you walk.

Love, LOVE, LOVE your slogan for 2009!!! This is really going to be an amazing year!

Every time I see a picture of Tiny I can't help but get a HUGE smile. She is so adorable. I hope you don't mind, but I showed off her picture to all of my family on Christmas Eve, and ALL of my in-laws on Christmas day. I am so excited for you!!!

What fun pictures!!! It is so funny to see pool pictures on Christmas. Our temperature yesterday was only 12F when I woke up. I like your temp better!!!!

Happy 2009!!!!
