A look back at 2008

This has certainly been a busy year for our family. It started with me being 22 weeks pregnant. Did I ever mention how much I LOVED being pregnant? I really never felt better!






Then in April, along came our little angel Addison Claire. She spent the first few days fighting for her life in the NICU, but came out 100% healthy. Thank you Lord!



Here's a look at Addison growing!








In August, Blake was offered a wonderful job opportunity in Texas that he couldn't turn down. This meant me leaving my family, friends & incredible job at Chase to be a stay-at-home mom to Addison. How could I refuse? We loaded up the family & moved in September right after Addy turned 5 months old.


Texas isn't so bad. We've learned the area & made a few friends. This isn't my ideal place to raise a family, so thank goodness it's only temporary. Our house in Louisiana is still on the market. Each time we go home we stop by to check on things. I know the housing market is crappy right now, but I can't imagine why nobody has bought our house yet :) I love that house. Maybe because we lived there for almost 5 years & have memories there. Blake proposed on the back patio, we made upgrades to the house & brought our baby home while living there too. Hopefully, it will sell by Spring.

We end 2008 thankful for all that we have & excited about 2009.

Happy New Year all!

Addy & Parker Video

I have been meaning to post this video for a month now! It's from our visit to see Erin & Parker. Everytime Parker would cry, Addy would too. Check it out.

It's Christmas!

Addy had a great time today. The morning started out with us getting up & checking out a couple of the cool toys Santa brought last night. After that it was time for breakfast & then more presents. She loves all of her new toys! Today was SO much fun! Watching her see the all the new stuff & experiment with it was priceless!

I don't have the energy right now to post pics in this blog, but some have been added to Curran Pics. Just click on the link to the right.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Uh oh

I leave the room for 2 seconds & this is what I come back to:



My monkey has learned to pull up on her knees! She has been trying to climb on everything for the past 2 weeks, but this is the first time on her own! Now it's time to lower the crib mattress!

Merry Christmas

I LOVE

I love getting Christmas cards! Every year I look forward to the new pictures & updates from our friends & extended family. Some just send Christmas cards as a yearly 'routine', but it is SO much more than that. It's a chance to say hello & let loved ones know that they are thought of throughout the year. A couple of years ago we didn't know what to do with all of the cards we had received, so now all of the cards go on the Christmas tree. It's a wonderful way to display the cards & see them each time we pass the tree! (I promise to post pics soon)

Addison is doing great! I need to get busy & post more pictures & videos. She is moving all over the place now. It is amazing (I know I say that all the time)!

Gotta run.... Someone is yelling out for me!!!
