The End of One... the Beginning of Another....

So we had two things that happened this year that killed our blog. Duane and I both got on Facebook this year and discovered how much easier it is to post pictures on there.

We also broke our digital camera & had a season without picture taking. But we are off to a new year in 2010 and will try to be better about posting a few pics here and there!

It sure was a great year in 2009!! We had some really amazing things happen. Here are some highlights from 2009:

- We went to Vegas and attended the Trek convention! (see previous posts for pics)

- We went to Hilton Head with the Keaton's where Duane played tennis with Gladys Night & lots of golf with his dad & brother. Alex enjoyed the beach with Grandma & Grandpa & mommy did some shopping for her birthday.
- We got a new kitchen table & kitchen island in our home.

- Dacian FINALLY earned the Pampered Chef incentive trip program. We will be going to Disney in June 2010. The best thing is that because it was part of a bonus program from the Pampered Chef, we will not pay a dime! They are even giving us spending money to use while we are there! Isn't that amazing. We are so thankful. If it weren't for Pampered Chef, we would not be able to do a trip like this (at least not at this stage in life). Alex will be 2 1/2 when we go. He loves MeeMou & Pooh. He will LOVE this trip.

- Alex turned 2 this year as well. He had so much fun celebrating his birthday with all his friends. We are so grateful to have such precious friends & church family.

- Duane finished up another year as the Art Teacher at Southern Middle School. He led the STLP (Student Technology Leadership Program) as well as the After School Art Club & Year Book.
- Alex continued to grow both in sprit & in mind! His vocabularly is exploding. He can count past 10 and recognizes all his uppercase letters. He can even read a few small words like "CAT" "DOG" "MOMMA" & "DADDY".
We are looking forward to 2010 and sharing it with all of you! HUGS
