As a new year approaches I think it's pretty natural for all of us to reflect back on the old one. There have been years for me that have been difficult and sad and very hard to get through. There are a fair amount of folks who can say 2008 wasn't great, in fact it was pretty bad. Some years seem to pass by uneventfully. And there are years of great joy. It's obvious that this has been one of those for our family. I originally wanted to post some pics that summarized our year, but instead decided to simplify and choose one. The above photograph of me and our funny, sweet and loving little boy sums it all so well. Happy New Year! May it bring you great joy! I hope 2009 is good to you.

It is perfect. Absolutely, perfect.
2008 was awesome for me. I got to know you.
2009 is looking pretty fine from where I sit. I hope it is the same for you.
Love and friendship....Lea
Hope this next year is amazing for you

Yes, 2008 was a wonderful year for some of us (the fortunate ones, who were united with our children, for instance!), yet hard for so many in our country.
Oh how I pray that 2009 will be a year of speed ups in the China IA program, so all those waiting will experience the same joy we have in the coming year.
Have a wonderful, blessed New Year!
Love the picture!
Your Grace is a beauty, enjoyed catching up on your posts.
Best wishes for a wonderful New Year!!
