We are new at this, but are so motivated by our friends Chris and Sarah to blog. We have really enjoyed feeling closer to them and more a part of their lives by keeping up with their blog. I really wish we would have started when I was pregnant and followed through Ella's first year, but we are going to do a 2009 blog and begin with New Years. I will upload pics from our New Year's Party and go from there - but it won't be too detailed, just enough to fill in those of you who we really haven't seen for a while. So...keep watching as we learn how to set this up...for now, enjoy Ella's first steps at 8 months old
