If there is still any one that comes to our blog Thank You. I know I have done a terrible job of keeping our blog updated and to the Grandparents I am the most sorry. My New Year resolution was to keep the blog updated but after a few unexpected events I am just now(February)back in Virginia after the Holidays.

So to start my resolution I am going to post pictures of our top 10 events(from the second half of 2009) in honor of 2010. Happy late New Year everyone.





Ava had her first birthday and of course I went a little over the top but that's what I do right Kyle. My mom was in town for the week visiting and was able to be here for her party. Thanks mom for all your help.



Our house had many late nights this last October, because the New York Yankees won the World Series just in case you hadn't heard.



Baltimore Aquarium



Richmond Train Station

Both of Kyle's parents(Grandpa escaped my camera)came to visit for a week the end of October, it was a blast having them here. We went on a couple day trips one to Baltimore and the other to Richmond.



Happy Halloween. This year Emma wanted to be the purple witch from Scooby Do and Ava well she can talk so she was a cute little flower.



This year Emma and I started a preschool co-op called Joy school. There are two other children plus Emma. We meet twice a week and we trade off so we are only teaching about every 3 months for 3 to 4 weeks. Emma really enjoys it.





This was our first Thanksgiving completely alone(no friends or family), so I had to cook and I would say I did an okay job. But now that I have cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal by myself, I am Thankful for the many women who have cooked Thanksgiving meals for me. Thank You







Our first snow of the season consisted of 24 inches of snow.







After a few months of Ava backwards mullet I decided I would cut her hair. I am please with the out come no cuts and her hair looks cute.







Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We traveled to Oregon to spend 2 weeks with our family. We had a wonderful Christmas.







Kyle just had his 30th Birthday the 29th of December and to celebrate we had a Wii birthday party. It was a blast to put together and so fun spending time with friends.

Well I hope you enjoyed the second half of 2009(if any one made it threw the post) and I hope to do much better in 2010. Thanks
