Crap, I'm late.

Two and a half hours late in fact..I wanted to write a January first post (since I haven't posted since September), but better late than never!

I would love to say that every moment of 2009 rocked my world, but that's not true :( There were however, many highlights, so I'll hit some of those!

January-February...I ate nothing but the blandest food out there, and still threw up upwards of 6 times every day. Oh wait, that's not a highlight, but the teeny little baby girl inside my tummy was like a ray of sunshine :)

March...Daniel got a job for a great, awesome, amazing company! He has a great boss, works with great people, and loves what he does! And, I know I am biased, since I'm his wife, but he is really really good at it, and I'm really proud of him!

April...I got to go on a GIRL trip to Edmonton for the weekend, and see my baby girl in action at the 3D ultrasound. So much fun, except that the hot tub at the hotel was broken

May-June...we chilled, we picnicked, we laid around and felt the baby kicking, and we celebrated Addison's 4th birthday! I also started a biz that I named Little Lily after our little Tegan Lily :) I make things. From bamboo. I love it.

July....we started looking at houses to buy, and I booked my prenatal pics, but went into labor instead of making it to the photo shoot. Then on the 10th, we had our third (and last??) baby girl, right on time, just as Keri requested. She asked me to have her by 3 so she could come visit, and Myka arrived at 2:50! It was great, although I request that for the next one...maybe she request a 3 hour labor??? Just a thought....

September...we got possession of our new house! I wrote a whole other post on that though, so you can go read that later. We painted a few rooms and were ready to move right in, when we found reno after reno that needed (or we wanted) to be done :) so here it is, January first, and we are living in the trailer that thankfully was on our land as well as the house! Hopefully I'll have pics of the finished product sometime in the next few months!

Tegan Lily also turned 3 in September :D

Oct-Nov...I did craft shows with LLB, and we stayed busy with the kids, work, and the house!

Dec...we just finished off the year with an amazing relaxing Christmas, and got to meet our brand new nephew, William (who for some reason I always want to call Michael...figure that one out!)

I hope 2010 just goes up from here! That would be awesome.

Thank you to all our amazing and supportive family and friends for being a part of our lives this year and every year!

And...my new years resolution? To capture our memories a little more often with the blog...it's a great place to put them, since I have no patience for scrapbooking.

Happy New year!
