A year in review....











2009 was a full year for us. All 3 of my girls are in school now. Destiny entered the 1st grade, Jennifer joined her at "big school" in Kindergarten, and Amber is in Pre-K this year.They all love school and although they all have their own challenges they are doing pretty well.
We moved - AGAIN! This time into a large house where everyone got a chance to have their OWN room. Jennifer and Amber have since decided they like and want to share a room. Destiny loves having her own space and would cringe at the thought of sharing it. We added a new 4 legged member to our family..... a friend for Bella. Riley has certainly brought out the puppy and playful side to her we had not seen before. David is still at Triad and hopefully will be for a long time to come - great job and great people! I am still doing childcare but have scaled back dramatically to just 3 little ones right now. I needed the "break" that this has given me. I was definitely feeling burnt out on childcare. The boys I keep now are a joy and much easier than the full house I once had. I turned 40 in October and I must admit that it was a little disturbing to me. I questioned where and who I was a bit if in silence... some answers I gave myself were good and some not so.
We had a fun year of beach trips, zoo outings, birthday parties, movie nights, and more.
I am thankful for the family and friends I have and the new ones I made this past year. Looking back this year it was a roller coaster ride for me but all in all a good year. My family is happy and healthy as we enter 2010, I could not ask for more!
