Happy New Year!! 2008 was a great year as we welcomed Blake into our lives, we certainly could not have asked for anything sweeter and more special. He is growing soooo fast, before I turn around good we will be celebrating his 1st birthday. He now has 2 teeth, the 2 front bottoms finally broke through and I think we are working on one or two more!! We are on the verge of crawling, he is getting up on all fours and rocking so at any moment he will be up and moving! I can only imagine how "in to everything" he will be, I can't keep him out of the dog's bowls as it is now!! Oh well, he will know how to keep me on my toes for sure.

Christmas was great, we spent Christmas day here in Spartanburg with the Eskews and then traveled to Chattanooga the day after Christmas to share the holidays with the Evans. Blake got soooooooo much stuff, so much we have had to make our spare bedroom his playroom!! Only 7 months old and already taking over the house:) Oh well, life is good!!

Last weekend we went to Chapel Hill, NC and we hope it is only the visit of many, the choice of school of course, to visit my cousin Catherine and her family while taking in a basketball game. Uncle John turned 15 on Sunday and they (mom, dad, Josh and John) got to spent the afternoon in the Dean dome, what a fun time they had! Blake and mommy spent the day with Catherine and the boys to have a photo shoot, Blakes 6+ month pictures. They turned out so cute, we had all the naked baby shots done since next time the rolls and chub will not be as much. Thanks Catherine for spending the time and effort to give us great memories!

For now we are home for a while (we hope), Josh is getting ready for another soccer season at Dorman so things will really stop to hop around here. As for me I have had a great week off to spend some time with Blake and have loved every minute, but I am back at it tomorrow, spring break can't come soon enough!!!
