New Year and Hal's Birthday

Happy New Year! It seems so weird to say that it is 2009. Since March when we found out we were pregnant, I have been thinking about how we would have a baby with us at Christmas and New Years. It seemed so far away. How crazy that Christmas has come and gone, 2009 is here, and we have Drew with us! 2008 was a year of big changes for us. The move from Houston to Florida was more challenging for us than we anticipated. Hal had to get comfortable with a totally new role at work and we both had to get accustomed to a new town. We had really started to feel at home in Texas and leaving was difficult. Finding a church as soon as we did here in Florida was a HUGE blessing. The people God has brought into our lives as a result are absolutely amazing. We spent a good part of the year preparing to meet our little man and on November 19th we were blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby boy! The last 6 weeks have been some of the most challenging yet most rewarding weeks of our lives. I am sure that will be true for years to come. Hal has had the last few days off and we have enjoyed having him here! Today was his birthday. We had brunch at our favorite spot, The Broken Egg, and then spent the rest of the day here watching football. Below are pics from the last week.
