- Received news that our family had been approved to adopt Jackson. We were so happy!
- Celebrated being a family with our dear Scarlett and preparing to become a family of four.
- Welcomed our son Jackson into the family. Having two children is something I always wanted but never dreamed that would come true. We are complete.
- Learned about cleft lips and palates - as well as the obstacles that Jackson would encounter along the way.
- Saw our daughter off to First Grade. Our little girl is getting so big!
- Crossed the biggest hurdle of palate surgery. Glad that is behind us.
- Celebrated Jackson being able to use a straw for the first time! So happy!
- Hearing TWO children laugh and play - priceless!
- Added a small Yorkie to the mix. Sarita is such a fun dog!
- Celebrated Scarlett's 7th Birthday with several parties given by friends- she is so loved!
- Saw Halloween in with two kids more interested in giving OUT candy than going Trick or Treating.
- Thanksgiving - so much to be thankful for.
- Mourned with our brother-in-law, who lost his mother 3 days after Thanksgiving.
- Mourned with my step mom and sister, who lost their mother/grandmother a few days later.
- Rejoiced remembering the Christ Child who was born so that He could die and pay my debt.
- Enjoyed a rare Christmas snow. Magical!
- Ate way too many cookies. But man, the were good!
- Enjoyed spending time with family and friends. God has been good to us!
I am looking forward to 2011. I generally don't make resolutions - I never like to see them broken! :) But I do want to try to be more organized and write more. I hope to spend more time having fun with my children - they grow up way too fast! I hope to grow even closer to God.
But most of all, I hope that my friends and family remain healthy and have a wonderful 2011!
