Our past two weeks.........On too a NEW YEAR

I know I haven't updated for awhile but below are photos from our December 2008 with the Cota's.

As I sit here anticipating the new year with Lil Ed(Big Ed and Diego are asleep) I can reflect back to what a good year 2008 was for our family. Although Little Diego was very sick with his food allergy in January then RSV in February and the worst Mastoiditus in July he is now better and is our healthy little boy.

As for Little Ed he has had an excellent year with school- he made honor roll and perfect attendance and has kicked butt with reading, we are very proud of him and his accomplishments.

Next is my amazing husband, December 5th he celebrated two years sober, wow how life has changed for us all. I am very proud of the man he has become and especially proud that he has succeeded an addiction not only for himself but his family as well!

As for me I am excited I have managed to lose close to 40 pounds thanks to my loving husbands everyday support and cooking.

One very special thing that has happened to us all is we found a church home - New Hope and have come to find the Lord! We have found an amazing church family and enjoy our weekly attendance learning more about life and the Heavenly Father.

Now onto a new year in about 2 more hours!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
