Year in Review: 2009!

What a year we've had! 2009 was definitely a good, eventful year for us! I feel like 2009 was the year where I really learned how to be a mother. I started learning in 2008, and I will continue learning for the rest of my life, but I gained so much confidence in 2009. In 2010, I will begin the process of learning how to be a mother to two :) Our live has definitely changed over the last year, but it has definitely been changed for the better. Here is a little recap of 2009 in pictures. (I know -- everyone is doing this. But I think it's a fun idea!)
