Happy New Year!

It has been a while since I posted and after Jeff talked about posting last night I decided I should as well. We had a wonderful holiday season which provided many memories to last us for years.

As I reflect on 2007 and anticipate 2008 the thought that has occurred to me several times is that we are in a year of firsts and lasts. Stephen will be leaving for college in the fall and I find myself aware that we are doing things "the way they've always been done" in our family for the last time and we are also having a lot of firsts. First time applying for college, first time filling out financial aid forms, last year of boys' swimming, last year we will all be involved in Christmas preparations. Possibly last birthday for Stephen at home. As I encounter each first and last I seek to praise God for the opportunities and the blessings they bring.

May your 2008 be filled with joy and peace through each and every day regardless of what it brings.

Diane
