2008 was Great!

Cory and I are stuffed from our traditional New Year's Eve lobster dinner, and I am recovering on the couch with the MacBook in my lap, attempting to upload photos so that I can start 2009 with an empty camera.  The crazy thing is that I exceeded my free Google account storage and am in the process of upgrading right now.  Once the upgrade is processed, I will upload photos along with a video that should satisfy your Henry appetite at least for a while.

 

The lack of adequate storage isn't surprising.  2008 was an amazing year for us, and the massive amounts of photos, emails, blogs, and videos are only representative of the fun, excitement, and sheer joy of this year.  Cory and I both were hit with the funny "feels like just a couple of months ago" feeling as we prepared our 2008 lobster dinner.  It seems like not long ago that Cory was sticking lobsters in the pot while I covered my ears but kept my eyes on my pregnancy crossword puzzle, which, I might add, was completed rather quickly due to my extensive prenatal care knowledge.  Henry was still known as "Totch," and we were mixing yummy mocktails of ginger ale, cranberry, pineapple, and orange juice.  We were just one month away from the arrival of a life-changing cell mass turned little boy.

Henry made 2008 the best year that we ever had and better than we ever imagined a year could be.  We are delighting in being Henry's parents and getting to know this amazing boy who can capture an entire room with his uninhibited smiles and outcries.  Who knew that his first, brief, wide smile would make us grin for hours and his first words would make us talk about them for weeks?  He makes each day an adventure, and each week and month an epic journey worthy of a $20 storage upgrade!
