I hope this reaches most everybody I would have sent it to by snail mail. I took a step back this year from all the holiday hub-bub and I am just getting to wishing everyone a Happy Holiday.
Happy New Year, hope you had a great Christmas. The girls and I had a great Christmas here in Michigan, on Christmas day the girls waited til I was home from work to celebrate Christmas and we went to my parents after to continue celebrating by opening more presents, eating a marvelous meal and hanging with the family via Skype and in person.
Zoe has had an eventful year in 2009, she is a Junior in high school and active with Marching band in the colorguard and Winterguard in the winter. She got her drivers license this past November, she is an excellent driver. We are now a two driver family with one car, not so fun. She is thinking about college and making decisions about her future.
Helen is an 8th grader at the middle school she has stopped competitive gymnastics and has taken up Krav Maga. She has grown up quickly during the last year, she has gotten braces & contacts. She becomes more of a teenager everyday.
Lily is a 5th grader at the upper elementary school. She is becoming an amazing young lady and learning she likes things she hated in the past, like reading. She is now the competitive gymnast in the family. She missed her first meet in December because she had strep, I cannot wait to see her compete in the January meet.
Sofia, yes we have another girl. A beagle who the girls dearly love. I cannot imagine life without her. She came to us in August, she was not a good hunting dog and needed a good home to be a house dog. We have taken her to obedience school so the people could learn how to behave.
I am still working the 911 job, yeah! I am knitting and reading on my kindle when I am not being the mom.
Send this on to anyone I missed.......I wish you a fantastic 2010.
Beth
