Happy New Year!

Well here we are-another new year. We say goodbye to 2008 with mixed emotions. It was a year that started off on a sad note with the loss of our beloved Bill. While we miss his smiling face, we find comfort in the fact that we know he waits for us in a better place. He is keeping company with some other very special people. We also lost our Aunt Snookie. When I think about her, I can't help but smile and remember my early childhood in Kansas.

Yes it was a year of loss, but it was also a year we saw our family grow in so many ways. We welcomed two brand new smiling, healthy faces with the editions of Ben and Izzy. We also expanded our gang when Jeff and Devon were lucky two great woman said "YES". Sally and Melissa - welcome to our family. Isn't it funny how God always has a way of giving back more than we should expect?

What a great time we had at our family reunion this past summer! Thank you Linda for pulling that together. Thanks to everyone who came and truely made it memorable. It was great to see generations of all ages together again.

So welcome 2009! It's already shaping up to be yet another busy year. We look forward to whatever is in store for us as our children continue to grow and move in different directions. It will be a year of great beginnings. We pray that everyone has a healthy and happy new year! Love The Bradley Family
