The even years seem to be our best as a family and 2010 was no different. To prove my point, a brief time line:
2000 - Gene and I got married
2002 - Trevor was born
2004 - Peyton was born
2006 - Morgan was born
2008 - We sold our trailer and moved to the apartments
2010...
*Gene began a new job at Fresinuis Medical (a dialysis clinic) in Delta, La. He no longer takes call on nights or weekends! To make things even better, he only works Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! However, he does work 2:30am - 5:30pm. Needless to say, he deserves those off days. Although he spends most Tuesdays and Thursdays at River Region working.
* Trevor began third grade, shot his first deer (a seven point with a 17 inch spread), began playing with a new baseball team full of his friends, tried football but broke his arm in the first game and missed the rest of the season, continues to make straight A's; and most importantly, gave his heart to Christ on December 29th. He was baptized last Sunday!
*Peyton began first grade, tried hunting but didn't like sitting still and quiet, played baseball in the spring, played real soccer for the first time in the fall and loved it, and has made All A's on both report cards this year!
*Morgan began Pre-K at Sherman Avenue (which she loves), had a successful surgery to repair her bladder reflux, played soccer for the first time, and can't wait to hunt, play softball, and take gymnastics!
*Me - As if that was not enough, I've been quiet busy myself! In March, we moved into a house in Bovina. In April, I surrendered to the call to Children's Ministry. I am currently working as part time Children's Minister at our church! In August I began my first year as a kindergarten teacher! I absolutely love it!!!
Our little world is quiet busy all the time! My house is a disaster. If you come to my door, you may not be let in. If you are, you've been warned. This is how we roll. We love to spend time with each other and realize that the housework will be here long after the kids are grown and gone.
So that's the highlights of 2010. I can't wait to see what 2011 brings!
