Happy New Year

I am copying my sister on this post I just thought that it was really good. So sorry Erin for copying you. 2008 was a Great year for us. We had many good thing happen to us but also some trials as well. But with those trials we hope to grow from and become better. But onto the good things. We recieved a Job Offer from a wonderful Law firm to be part of and also a wonderful job with a Judge here in town, Brad graduated from Law School (YEAH!!), and I think best of all, He passed the bar. What a wonderful blessing for all those things to happen. Claire has grown up so much. The difference between 3 and 4 has the biggest I think. She has become very independant (with a little encouragment). She is like a little adult (she thinks). It is hard to be a little kid when all you have around is adults. She is a sweet little thing and is soaking as much of life and information she can. Her favorite thing right is definitly the dog. They play and play until they wear themselves out. It is kind of nice. As for me, it has kind of just been the same. I did get a night job but besides that I am enjoying my calling at church but especially being a wife and mommy.
We have enjoyed 2008 very much and the excitement that we had, but we are looking forward to 2009 and the joys that will come with it. We are anticipating our move east to Dallas but also trying to enjoy our time left here in Lubbock with our good friends before our life moves on to new adventures. We hope that all of you and your families are well and have a VERY Happy New year and wonderful 2009.
Good Bye 2008 and Welcome 2009.

The Farm
Claire went to a farm for preschool and she loved it! It was fun to be there with all her friends but it was SO windy.

Peek-A-Boo

Peek-A-Boo
This is her favorite spot to hide! She loves to play in the hampors. She thought it was really cool to just peek out a little. She is such a sweetie pie!

Look at her smile, she was having a blast. We went to Home Depots Kids Workshop. She and Brad made a flower box. They had a lot of fun (minus the fact that she was little sick) We got in the car and she wouldn't stop talking about it.

This was the finishing project.
