Welcoming 2009

Happy New Year!!!!

My New Year's resolution this year is to update this blog on a regular basis, lose weight and to visit more family. Eric's New Year's resolution is to lose weight, to complete all the home improvement projects that have been here since 2006, to get his second degree black belt in To Shin Do and to get a new position within Publix. Loryn's New Year's resolution is to sleep through the night (we are almost there), start on solid foods, crawl then stand then walk, and maybe to begin talking.

2008 was a very eventful year for us. We had a lot of positive events: Chase Walther's birth, Riley Toombs' birth, Brian and Karen's wedding, Eric's 30th Birthday, Jodi and Jim's wedding, welcoming a new baby cousin Matthew, welcoming a new baby cousin Zach, Meri and Kevin's wedding, building a nursery, becoming USF football ticket holders, Savannah Waters' birth, Loryn's birth, The Segal Family moving back to the US from the UK, Loryn's Baby Naming, Eric and Jaime Ross' wedding.

In 2009 we have a lot to look forward to: Barack Obama inauguration & James' 35th Birthday and Jason's 30th Birthday, Baby Edwards' birth, The Reese's getting a baby boy, Jodi and Jim's baby Violet's birth Eric's 2nd Degree Black Belt Test, The Kersey's Wedding Celebration, Jayme and Ashley's 25th Birthday, Baby Fonseca's birth, Baby Gilmore's birth, Loryn's first birthday.

For the first day of the new year, our family celebrated by going on a nature walk, lunch with James and then watching Penn State in The Rose Bowl. We had such a wonderful time on our walk; it was just a bit cool in the morning, but we walked around Lettuce Lake Park, and we hope to be able to come back often since Loryn loved being outside.
