Happy New Year!

| January 1, 2010

Well, 2009 has come and gone and for the first time in a very long time, Mark and I did not spend New Years Eve bidding good riddance to a terrible year.  2009 was a wonderful year from start to finish.  It was only a few weeks into January when we found out I was pregnant and then we got to spend the entire year looking forward to meeting our baby girl and then, finally, getting to know her.  What a way to spend the year!  It was too joyful, too incredible, too exciting to ever convey with mere words.  I only hope that someday when Sam is old enough to read this blog, she will see from the smiles on our faces in every picture just how very much she was wanted, and how very much she was loved from the very start.  Mark and I loved her with every ounce of our being from the second we knew she existed.

We are all looking forward to a momentous 2010 where we get to know our little girl even more.  Happy New Year everyone!  And thanks for reading our blog and caring so much about us, and about our little Sam.
