End of Year Rush....

WOW!! Here is a brief summary of how the end of our year played out---I went to Utah for my annual girl's weekend (big story there--Congrats Mendy & Stacy); we have been to NY for a week; celebrated Elise's 3rd birthday; had Thanksgiving with my mom's new extended family; participated in a Christmas parade and several parties; spent a week and Christmas in Charleston; came home for a day then went to Winter Park, CO for a ski trip, celebrated Kaila's 5th birthday and New Years in CO; and finally had a real birthday party for Kaila the day after we returned. So needless to say, Christmas cards did not make it out, and I will not make any attempts to do a new year's one either. On another note--we have seen all the family and had a lot of fun making new memories. I did not put up a tree, so there is no need to take one down--except for the little one in Kaila's room which happens to still be up--that's funny because I had completely forgotten about it! It is a new year--business is looking good, I'm working on getting licensed to help Grant at the office, and I'm teaching 2 classes at the college this semester. School with Kaila is back on track (she has already decided that she doesn't want to go to Kindergarten) and Elise is home every day this semester due to our scheduling changes (please pray for me.) May you find strength and encouragement in God this year, and may His blessing pour out on you and your family. Enjoy the following pictures for a little recap of our year, and best wishes for a fabulous 2009!!
