2010 Letter

It is that time of year again, when I look back on the last year. And set my goals for the new year. As I look back on this years letter, my goals are very different this time around. I am proud that I didn't loose last year's letter to myself. Of course it helps that I posted it online.

Oh the changes in the girls this year. At the beginning of 2009 Paige got a major hair cut and lost 2 teeth. She has made it her job to inspire Elizabeth to go potty. Her pretend friends have moved on some; but her imagination is still strong. Paige was in her first Christmas play this year and did a very good job. Then the very next week she sang a special in church. What a proud day! She is excitedly looking forward to starting school. (You are excited too)

Elizabeth has been trying very hard to make you happy this year. This has been an exciting change that has helped her potty train. Although we are still not done, we are getting closer. She loves to sing. and her very favorite thing to do is play dress up.

As a passing thought last year, I wrote about adding to our family at some point. Although it wasn't the plan at the beginning of the year... we are now expecting. We are very excited. The girls might be more excited than I am, which is a delightful surprise. Oh the changes that will be here in July.

Last year your main goal was to make it to Matt and Tina's wedding. Looking back, I am glad that we made it. What an accomplishment! You and Andrew have lots of memories of that trip. So do the girls. Although it was not on my list of goals at the beginning of the year. I am proud that we are going to make it to Disneyland in just one more week. This would not have happened if saving had not been a major goal for 2009.

Goals for 2010
Take home a new healthy baby
Finish potty training Elizabeth
Teach Paige to read
Start the girls with real chores
Continue to pay down credit card debt
Get a few more "workouts" in
Get the garage organized/cleaned out!
Have the family spend 20 min cleaning the house a day, it should help keep it under control
