Goodbye 2010...Hello 2011

2010 served us pretty well. We had our ups and downs, but our greatest joy from 2010 was when our little family of two grew to three in June with the birth of David. I am so grateful David is in our family here on earth with us, for his good health, and his sweet spirit. He is my joy and my frustration at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! We were also able to move to Illinois to be with family while Mark deployed to Iraq until October of 2011. I'm so grateful to live there and be surrounded by such amazing friends and family.
To ring in the New Year, David went to bed at 7...but woke up his normal silly/smiley self. One of these days, I'll take a picture of him first getting up. (New Years resolution? Haha). Madeline and I went to Chili's about 7:30 for dinner. I absolutely love their fajitas! Of course I could not go there and not get my absolute favorite dessert...chocolate lava cake! Mmm...good!



Don't worry, it tastes even better than it looks. And of course, I didn't take a single picture of Madeline or I. Oops.

While Mark could not be here with us in person to celebrate, David's faithful/slightly less creepy daddy doll was.






Here's to hoping 2011 will bring joy and happiness to each of you! As for us, we are in the year Mark will be home!

Love you!!!
