What a Year!

2009 will come to an end in a few hours so I would like to take a moment and reflect on the past year and what a great year it has been. So here is what we have been up to...

* David ~ This year David became a dad, and although he doesn't realize it he is a great dad to Matthew. He also got the job as an Assistant Manager at his store and has applied for an Assistant Manager position at another store. We are praying that God will continue to guide his steps regarding his job. We are very thankful that in this crazy economy we have jobs to go to.

* Matthew - is now 7 months old! Everyday he gets more active and more vocal. He is crawling all over the place. It is hard to keep up with him. He is also pulling himself up much quicker. We think that he will be walking sooner than later. Just 2 weeks ago he started cutting his first bottom tooth. It has not been that fun but this too shall pass. We can't believe how fast he is growing. We love him very much and pray that he will be a great man of God as he grows up.

* Sadie - well she is a big scaredy cat.. but she still loves to get in trouble at times. She goes after Matthew's toys and loves to give him sloppy kisses. She loves to cuddle in bed with me when David is not in it.

* Kelly - As for me this past year has definitely been one of change. Matthew arrived in May and what a beautiful twist he brought into our lives. I returned back to work with the grade I love in the school I started as an assistant. Although I love Kindergarten but I still miss Matthew when I am away. We are so blessed to have him in a good home while we are both at work. I look forward to school breaks so I can spend time with him and David.

Overall it was a great year. We got to experience parenthood for the first time, we experienced our first flight with Matthew and saw David's family for Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful Christmas and now a New Year awaits us. We can't wait for the many blessings God has in store for us as a family and for us individually.

May God's Blessing Surround You this upcoming New Year!
