2010

Another year has started and so far 2010 is setting up to be a very busy year. We have some big events this year, my little sister is graduating high school- WOW! I can't believe it- it seems like just yesterday she was helping me move into my dorm in IOWA and now she will be moving into her own in the fall. We are all so proud of her, she is going to be a great teacher. Then there are some big weddings this year...lets go in order- May 15th Pam will be getting married to a wonderful man Ryan who makes her so happy. We are so exited for you guys. I am honored to be in the bridal party. It is going to be a great day! Next comes June 26th Amanda will be getting married to Chris, they have been dating for many years now and he asked her to marry him on the 4th of July on the beach during fireworks - in Florida! This is a very special wedding for our family as all 4 of us have been asked to be in the bridal party. We are so happy for them and excited for their special day! October 2nd is next with Jimmy's childhood friend Billy's wedding to Jen this wedding is in Galena. Jimmy will be a groomsman in this wedding. Not to mention all the babies that are going to be born this year congrats to all the expectant mommies out there! Now for the kids- Aaron is now 15 months he is using utensils when he eats, using more words wow I can't believe the difference between him and Erica in the speech dept. he had his check up and he continues along the growth curves 50th % in height and 20th% in weight. He is running around chasing Erica starting to take his toys back from her, jumping, dancing also climbing on tables- YIKES!. It is so amazing to see him learn something new or when he gets excited the smile on his precious face. With the snow we had he loves to shovel-and he is good at it. Erica is 30 months now and she had a growth spurt I had to go out and get some new jeans the ones I bought in fall are looking like floods! She is still my little peanut though! Her speech has improved drastically over the last few months, she is repeating everything lately- we need to be more careful now! Playing pretend with her dolls, dancing, and she just stated gymnastics last week- the girl did 5 pull ups on the bar - WOW! Here are a few pics- little old some from xmas.
