The holidays came and went so quickly this year. Now it is a new year and I am so excited for 2009 because I hope and believe this is the year Colin and I will have our baby! We have been told that the IVF scholorship committee will be meeting in the first weeks of Jan. so really any day now!!! It has been a long wait but will all be worth it if we are chosen and able to start IVF. We are praying like crazy.
Here are some pictures from the holidays. We spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning with my family (at my dad's) because Colin's parents were out-of-town. Colin's grandpa was able to come over and spend Christmas eve with us which was very nice. I am so grateful that all of my brothers and sister were able to be together this year. My mom and Sal joined us Christmas morning at my dads so I even got to be with both my parents at the same time too which was wonderful, the whole family enjoying Christmas morning together. I never thought I would see the day but it reminded me that no matter what families are families and forgiveness and love keeps us together.
Also, BIG NEWS my little brother Will got engaged on Christmas day to his girlfriend, Chrystle. She has a 5 year-old daughter named Faith so we are so excited to welcome them to our family! They are planning the big day in late summer/early fall.
