2008 was a very busy year for us! we received many blessings this year. our biggest blessing of all was of course the arrival of our little logan on july 17th. he is simply amazing and we absolutely adore him. i honestly can't imagine our life before logan was the center of it. he's the best.
along with the life changing event of our first child, chris and i both received promotions at work. i became a case supervisor at card with the passing of my dreaded oral exams (i was 36 weeks pregnant when i took them-quite a feat in and of itself). chris is now a district manager with petco. he is in charge of a number of stores here in southern california. i also graduated from my master's program in 2008 as well. we are having a ceremony later this month.
2008 also brought along two cousins for logan. aiden was born in february and emily was born in november. logan is lucky to have cousins so close in age. it'll be fun to see them all grow up together!

with all that had taken place in 2008, we are looking forward to a quieter and calmer 2009!
we brought in the new year at chris and amanda's, playing guitar hero and watching the ball drop. we all had a good time. it's nice to bring in the new year with loved ones. we are looking forward to 2009 with logan. happy new year everyone!

on new year's day, we took a quick trip to legoland for a few hours. we have season passes there so it was nice to venture down to carlsbad. we wanted to see the christmas decorations and see how they decorated mini-land with christmas legos before they took the decorations down. boy, was it cold! i forgot how foggy the coast gets around sunset. i love it though, had i been prepared and brought a jacket for myself! oops! logan loves people watching and looking around. he had a good time too. he feel asleep towards the end and slept the entire drive home.

we found out my dad had prostate cancer. my parents actually found out about the news the day chris and i told my them we were finally pregnant with logan. they were kind enough to keep the devastating news from us for a few days. we are so thankful dad's levels are down and tests have shown he is beating the cancer.
