Here's to 2009!

In the last month of 2008, Andrew and I suffered the loss of both of our grandmothers - neither of which ever got to meet our son. Ironically, Asa James was named after both our grandmothers' families. We are so sure that Asa James came to us so that we could feel comforted by the passing of our Nana and Granny. Their legacy and love lives on through Asa. In life, death is certain. And now we know, in death, life is resurrected.

Here's to 2009 - the first full year of Asa's life, his first step, his first word, his first kiss, and many more firsts. We know Nana and Granny will not miss a thing as they would here on earth. They will now get to watch it all.
