HAPPY New Year!

Well, I'm sad to see 2008 go but I'm excited to see what 2009 will bring.

Here's a recap of some of my 2008 favorites:
-Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna
-Being a full-time mom most of the year
-When I HAD to go back to work, finding a job that was so cool and flexible
-Obama
-Seeing lots of springs with the fam
-My visit to Kentucky
-Making friends with Michelle and Sophie
-Stokes visits and hanging with all Anna's "Uncles"
-Joshie and Kate's engagment
-Friends becoming preggers or parents


Here's a list of my 2009 hopes:
-Improvement on money issues!
-A published book for dad
-Rest for mom
-A full night's sleep (no wait, FULL TIME full night sleeps) for Aunt Emily plus a new house
-Nice girly friends for Uncles Russell and Kevin
-A certain announcement from Miss Katie (the kind that should come FIRST, KG ;-)
-A healthy happy sleepy baby for Kayla and Ed
-Perhaps a certain hip happening for CJ and Mary
-Nice trips for Momma Maria (WITH Curt, this time)
-Continued delights from Miss Anna Banana who is starting 2009 out with the following words:
-Cheese (chesssss)
-Whoa
-Go
-Papa
-Ball
-Up (pahpahpahpah)
-Hi
-Kah ka kah ka kah! (You'll have to ask the Uncles about this crazy one. Hint: Arrested
Development)
-And many more that I can't think of right now.

HAPPY NEW 2009. Be good and true to yourselves. Be.

Love,
Momma Maria
