Happy New Year to you all. Looking back on 2007 brings tears to our eyes. We can't believe everything that has happened. We kicked off the year with packing our bags and moving south to Orange Park Florida. A few days after moving in and having no idea where the heck this airplane dropped us off, we purchased a beautiful, know it all, GPS. She has provided me (Erin) with pure confidence that she can get me out of any situation! Now I could explore Jacksonville while Brad was at work and find my way home!
A few weeks after unpacking our new home, Brad was packing up his Honda Accord and parking his new VW Jetta in the garage! We visited Friends in Atlanta which challenged us with our first "long" family drive for Easter. A few months later, we traveled back to WI. We were in our 4 wheeled black mini van together for a total of 40 hours, YIKES!
Sam learned how to use the potty, sing the ABC's, chant Feliz Navadid and rides ,with no fault, a big boy bike with training wheels. Matthew took his few few crawls which soon turned into steps. His vocabulary continues to grow and went from "dah" to "Yam, ank u" (translation, Sam, thank you). Along with his persistent ability to be exactly like his brother, his palette also continues to explode. This child will try anything and has a great appetite.
A few more months passed by and Brad decided it was time for Mommy to pack up her old black mini and get a new one! A few days went by, October 31st came and went and in the driveway sat mommy's new Toyota Sienna! I am STILL in love with that purchase.
Brad reasoned with his headaches and decided it was time to get his vision checked. Sure enough, he needed corrective lenses. 45 trips back and forth to the Optometrist , 5 weeks later we "think" his contacts finally fit his precious little eyes. Now he's onto finding the best solution to keep his eyes moist through the day.....
Erin, well, I've just been busy being a mom. At the end of the day, watching my children through their day to day activities is the best gift of all. We have made so many wonderful friends here who treat us like family. Those friends, near and far have made me appreciate being me.
Our house has been full of friends and family this past year. We've had so much fun entertaining all of you and we loved sharing our Florida home with everyone.
We have so much to be thankful for this past year. Our health, happiness and togetherness. Our wish for our boys this coming year is the gift of happiness. May you be happy with everything you do, may your life be filled with fun and excitement and may you please please learn how to sleep past 6 a.m. PLEASE!!!!
