Happy New Year

video

2008 was a pretty remarkable year for us, but most notably it was a year where our lives could return to some sense of normalcy after the house project. We could relax after work, go up north over a few weekends in the summer, and just spend time together as a family throughout the holidays and seasons.

The year brought many firsts for Laura: crawling, walking, talking, trip to Colorado, etc. It's obvious in the photos how much Alex has grown in a year: his vocabulary, his ability to negotiate, his ability to work with others, his manual dexterity, and his legs among the many things.

They've grown together as well, together they're forming the sibling relationship: which means Laura does what Alex does; Alex wants what Laura has; much picking, prodding and aggrevating ensues; but at the end of the day all they want is to give each other "moochies" before going to bed.

The photos in the video above are many you've seen before; but it's a brief compilation of noteworthy moments throughout the year.

I wish you and yours a safe and happy 2009.
