Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009

Dear Friends & Family - First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We were so busy around the Guckes household that I haven't had time to post in quite a while. We had a great Christmas though! Here are a few pictures.

Looking back on this year, we have had a great year with the best part being the birth of our precious Cole. We are truly grateful that God gave us such a gift and we know in our hearts that Claire played a part in fulfilling our blessing. 

We miss Claire like crazy around here. She'd be 3 right now and I'm sure she would have loved Christmas and all of the fun that it brings. But we know she's in heaven celebrating and rejoicing with us in our hearts. We love you Claire Bear.

Cole is 7 months now and he's changed a lot since he arrived in May. He's smiling like crazy, on the verge of crawling, very vocal and also eating lots of baby food. He likes to eat! We are looking forward to his first birthday in May.

Evie is in her last year of preschool and is looking forward to starting Kindergarden next fall. Although we've had a few bumps in the road with her daycare adjustment, we are confident it will be better next semester! She's a smart,  happy girl and is a true blessing to all of us.

After another year of working for Metro, Ryan will be getting back onto the street in North County. He's looking forward to some action and being in his own car again. This new role will start in January.

I've been busy this year - having a baby, working like crazy at my job and achieving lots of good stuff, handling marketing for Oh So Cheeky Boutique with Robyn, assisting other moms with their marketing efforts and finally, starting STL Boutique Moms. Look for more development to come on that site!

From all of us, to all of you, have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!

Love, 

Ryan, Sarah, Evie, Claire & Cole
