A Few Words from Mommy...

Well the holidays are over and 2008 is here - I can't believe it. The last year has truly flown by. I have no idea where the last 3 months have gone. Joaquin has grown so much - it is truly amazing. He was so small when we brought him home from the hospital; now he is almost 15 pounds and I'm having a little trouble carrying him around. Ryan and I had to take turns holding him at the airports in between flights because our arms would get tired. Joaquin's first flying experience was a success. He was the most perfect little man on the airplanes and in the airports. Ryan and I didn't have to be "those" people with the screaming baby. (Now, though I have much more patience and understanding for "those" people.)

Wisconsin was a nice time. Joaquin got to hang Grandma & Grandpa Hintz. He also got to meet his Uncle J, Great Aunt Terri, & Great Grandma & Grandpa Trofimoff. He also got to meet Maddy - our friends' gorgeous 2 year old and Joaqo's current love interest.
It was sooo cold there - I had forgotten what anything below 50 degrees felt like. While Ryan and I froze - literally running to the car, Joaquin was toasty warm in the snowsuit his Grandma Hintz had for him (not to mention absolutely adorable.) He loved putting it on and smiled every time he got to wear it.

I can only imagine the adventures 2008 has for Ryan & me. 2007 held many changes for us - I honestly believe they were for the best. Life is fun - "...little surprises around every corner, but nothing dangerous." We both love Joaquin so very much - I can't imagine not having him in my life.

"Do I look good, or what?"
