January 2009: We took the girls to the Sam Noble Natural History Museum to see the dinosaur bones. They have continued their interest in dinosaurs all year long! 
February 2009: This picture was taken on Valentine's Day. We had just taken the girls out to breakfast and then stopped by my parents' house to play a little basketball.
March 2009: We found out on March 12th that we were going to have a little BOY! I remember being so surprised and so excited. We just couldn't wait to meet him.
April 2009: Easter Sunday was a cold, rainy day, but we still had fun hunting eggs inside the house. 
May 2009: May brought some warmer weather and lots of "end of the year" activities. This picture was taken after the girls' ballet recital. They tap danced to "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and I cried the whole way through. Oh those pregnancy hormones!
June 2009: We started getting ready for Baby to arrive this month. I had a wonderful baby shower and was truly blessed by a lot of friends and family. 
July 2009: Lucas Gabriel Galloway made his debut on July 24, 2009. He is perfect in every way, and has added so much joy to our family. Overnight we became a family of five!
August 2009: This was a month of adjustment and of finding our new "normal". It really went very smoothly. The girls happily embraced having a little brother. They really love him a lot!
September 2009: We saw Lucas' first smiles this month and as any mother can tell you, they absolutely melt your heart. We spent a lot of time just staring at our boy. The girls started Pre-K this month and started learning all kinds of new things.
October 2009: This month Lucas started sleeping through the night which helped us all feel a little better! This is still my favorite family picture of the year. 
November 2009: We experienced an Indian Summer as the nice weather continued long into November. We spent many afternoons outside playing at the park, taking walks, and enjoying nature!
December 2009: What a wonderful year it has been. A year full of expectancy, fun, new beginnings, and family. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for us.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
