2009

What a year we have had. Full of joy and sorrow. The birth of our daughter the loss of Kurt’s brother. Returning to work after being off on leave with the kids for over two months was a challenge. We are thankful for my parents and Aunt Jeanne that we do not have to send the kids to a daycare. They get all the one on one attention they need and deserve.

We took our first family of four mini staycation in August to Delta. The weather was nice and Dillon loved to be able to just run. Joan, Jerry and Joey came along; we all had a good time.

It has been 5 months since our little girl has blessed our lives. She has brought so much to our family already. Dillon just loves her and she loves to laugh at his every move. Let’s hope it stays this way for many years to come.

She is growing like a little weed. Last dr. appointment she was 12lbs and 25 inches long. She is still just a little peanut, but always full of smiles. Right now she is toughing out her first cold. She is my little trooper.

Dillon in all his two year old wonder is so full of energy that he could keep a small city running on just him alone! He loves any and all animals and can tell you what every ones sound is. He loves the zoo we get there when we can but don‘t stop! We have to keep moving and see ALL the ANIMALS! Loves to play outside, and did I say run! RUN, RUN, RUN! He is in what I call as the Record and Play Back stage, where he will repeat EVERYTHING you say. He is like a little sponge soaking it all up!

There is no joy in the world like watching YOUR child learn and succeed.

Can’t for the years ahead!
