Josiah slept a lot today, which allowed me to finish decorating the tree.
Each year, I have bought an ornament that represents what we have been through during the past 365 days. The first year in 2007, we bought/received a few ornaments about our first year as a married couple (P.S. I collect penguin stuff, as you are about to see...):
In 2008, we had a busy year! I got one ornament to just show us for this year. Sadly, I have yet to put OUR picture in it, so it still has the models on it:
We also bought a new house that year:
(also with only the model family picture in it)
And, I found out I was pregnant on December 13th of last year, but even though it was a huge answer to our prayers, I was very much fearful of losing the baby and starting back over at square one. So, I bought this ornament the next day to represent the hope for my pregnancy and what God was about to do in our lives:
As you know, our hope turned into promises fulfilled. So, this year I got an ornament to represent my precious baby, and I fell in love with this one:
And, finally, here is just a bit more of our penguin decor:
(also representing our new family of 3)
