2009 already??

I know I shared the sentiment of many when I looked at the calendar this morning and thought:

Wow, 2009 already?! Where did 2008 go?

No doubt, 2008 for us is buried under saltines and doctor appointments and ultrasounds and empire waist dresses, then baby clothes and more baby clothes and dirty diapers and toys and more gear than you can imagine. Perhaps we slept through 2008 (wishful)...or missed it in our sleep-deprived state. Nonetheless, I think Davey and I are in agreement that 2008 will go down as one of the best years of our lives. When all was said and done, 2008 gave us Owen.

It's hard to believe that nearly 6 months have come and gone since that little purple bundle entered the world. Wow, has he totally rocked my world in that short time. And wow, do I love him like I never imagined I would ever love anything. How true it is, what they tell you.

Being in Delaware for the holidays reminded me of all the special people in Owen's life who are very far away and missing his day to day growth and development (i.e. all those little things that Davey and I take for granted). So, in the spirit of resolutions and new years and new beginnings, I resolve to [try really, REALLY hard to] update this blog once a week for the rest of the year. If not once a week, then twice a month...I promise! I also resolve to make this less about me and more about Owen. Thus, as much as I might want to use this blog as a forum to whine about how tired I am, etc, etc, I promise to post pictures and give you Owen updates instead. (Besides, Davey would kill me if I used this as my own personal diary!)

That said, enjoy... And by the way, we miss you!
