Reflections on 2008

2008 was a pretty good year for the Laughreys.

Our daughter turned 2, and we learned, no scratch that, we are learning the art of compromise and negotiating with a toddler.

Maybe this is what helped Wallis and I get promoted...whatever it was we are greatly appreciative of the people we get to work with and those that helped make our promotions happen.

My brother got married to Jennie who we just love and adore.

We found out that Kelsea was going to have a baby sister.

Kelsea got out of diapers and just recently her crib.

Wallis graduated from USC's School of Engineering.

We took a family vacation to Maui, and thanks to my wonderful parents I got to read and relax by the beach and pool while Kelsea chased waves and built sand castles.

We had some lovely friends come and visit in the fall...although they really feel more like family than friends.

And in November my childhood friend of 31 and half years, welcomed their baby boy Landon into this world. Looking forward to Landon and Lorelei playdates in 2009!
