2009 year in review

To our wonderful family and friends,

What a busy year we've had! We now have a new address...San Tan Valley, AZ 85143. They decided to split Queen creek into two towns since it was growing so fast.

D has been home for a whole year (kind of) without going overseas to work. He currently works in Sierra Vista, AZ (2.5-3 hours south of where we live) and then drives home each Friday to spend the weekend with us and then drives back Sunday night. We're hoping one day that he'll be able to work hear home so we can see each other every day. This fall Desmond accepted Christ into his life and was baptized!

I continue to be a stay at home mom and loves it. Some days are very trying but it is by far the best job in the world. In my spare time (very spare) she enjoys scrapbooking, beading, and other miscellaneous crafts. In early December I (at 9 months pregnant) was in a car accident, luckily all was fine except the car. My biggest accomplishment this year has been losing almost 35 pounds after the baby was born!

UNO turned 3 this December. He continues to be our "little engineer". He loves to figure out how things work, build things and take things apart. He never ceases to amaze us with how smart he is and what he's capable of doing. He really enjoys being a big brother and loves helping with his little sisters.

DOS turned 1 in April. She is definitely a girly girl. She loves all things pretty and sparkly. She keeps up very well with UNO and is our "no fear" child. She loves to climb, dangle and do many things that scare Mommy. She has started putting sentences together and showing her personality and attitude through her vocabulary.

The biggest change of the year has been our new addition, TRES. She was born December 7 at 7:49pm. She weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces and was 19 inches long. She is a wonderful baby, an awesome sleeper and a total love bug.

Overall, it's been a great year! It's exciting seeing our children grow up and learn new things each day. We're extremely blessed! We're excited to see what the new year will bring and what God has planned for us.

Love
S, D, UNO, DOS, and TRES (and Angel too!)

What a nice recap of the year - I still need to do this, too! And I didn't know about Des getting baptized - how AWESOME!!! You have such a beautiful family, Sarah. You are truly blessed, and I'm so glad our friendship has remained. It's fun raising our families together. :)
