What a great idea Megan! You guys did have a very busy year didn't you? And what a blessed one too! I am so glad that Tate is doing so well! I have enjoyed watching his grow over the year, and can't wait to see what 2009 holds for your wonderful family!

That is such a good idea, it's so fun to look back at how far we've really come. More so on how far our little ones have come, who can say the learned to crawl, walk, and talk all in one year?
Happy New Year to you guys!!!!!
