2010

This is how we celebrated the begining of a new year.... then we went to sleep. (we had both already fallen asleep in the chair and on the couch before this picture. I guess that means we are getting old. Oh well.)

2009 brought us so many great memories: birthdays and holidays we celebrated with friends and family, places we went, new things the kids learned. It was a great year.

Gracie is getting so big. She's my big girl, NOT my baby girl. She makes sure I don't call her that. She's learning so much every day and she makes me laugh when she says something that is really beyond her. She is so sweet and loving - I don't know what I would do with out my Gracie hugs and kisses. She's the best helper, and I know that I will appreciate that even more when this little one gets here. I just hope that her tendancy to get into things that really get her in trouble will go away :)

Caden is such a cutie! He's really developing fast, too. I forget that he isn't 2 yet because he's talking so much and so well for his age. And he talks so loud, he doesn't have an "inside" voice. Mom jokes that he's going to be a preacher. He is all boy, even if he wants to put make up on when I am or he wants his toes painted like Gracie. His personality is shining out with the arrival of the terrible two's. It's going to be interesting what he'll do when Brenna gets here :)

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and praying for a continued healthy pregnancy. God willing, Brenna will be our 3rd happy, healthy kid. I'm so looking forward to all that God has in store for us in 2010, but especially her healthy arrival!

God is good, and has blessed us richly this past year.

Mom had these hats and the kids wanted to wear them, so I got a picture! Who could resist getting a picture of these cuties?

Happy New Year!
