Again, here it is, the new year. It's 2010. Where did the time go? A year ago we were contemplating Allen taking a 3 month long-term relief position in Woodward. Five years ago, we were playing hard with a four year old and a one year old. Ten years ago I was hugely pregnant, waiting for our little Annababy to arrive. Now, we have a double digit birthday to celebrate in a few days, an artistic six year old, and a new town to get acquainted with. Here are the highlights of 2009:
In January, Anna turned nine years old. How big she is!!
We had a huge ice storm that broke our tree almost in half and kept us home for at least three days;
In February Allen had surgery on his thumb from his gokart fender-bender.
The girls had the best time decorating his cast!
In March, Anna finished another season of Volleyball, the best ever!
Joscelyn came to visit for the weekend, having a wonderful time with her cousins.
In April, we celebrated the Resurrection of our Savior in complete St. John's style:
Easter Sunrise service, breakfast, and the annual balloon launch, even in the rain!
In May, Lauren turned six! Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!
For her birthday, we welcomed our newest member of the family, Hagrid. Just what she wanted.
In June, Anna and Lauren spent a week with Uncle Leon and Aunt Stacy--they did tons of fun things, including fishing!
In July, we had our last July 4th celebration in the backyard, went to the dinosaur museum with the Princess Posse, and spent the weekend with Candi, Ali, and Joscelyn.
In August, we moved! I got a job at the girls' school, and life in Woodward began.
September held getting used to a new school, orange closets, and bikes- since we have a great neighborhood to ride in!
In October we sold the Moore house, were visited by a witch and Supergirl, and I managed to get all four dogs in one picture.
November held fall leaves, tree trimming, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving with the Huggan's and Candace.
December brought crazy cold wind, a lost tooth, a little snow, and Christmas!
We all hope that your 2009 was as blessed as ours. May your new year bring all the happiness and best wishes! With love from Michelle, Allen, Anna, Lauren, and Candi
