2008 In Review

For those of you far away (or not so far) here's a rundown of our year. Farewell to 2008!

JANUARY
Lindy turns five.
The girls move in together...bunk beds!
My pregnant waistline reaches unprecedented proportions.

FEBRUARY
Ellie discovers ballet.
Lindy learns about paleontology.
I finish my first quilt!

MARCH
Lindy becomes an "expert bike rider".
Mom and Lindy go to "Disney Princesses On Ice".
I am ready to do almost anything to bring on labor.

APRIL
"Baby Brother Jones" finally joins our family. Welcome Curtis!
Grandpa and Grandma Heninger take us to the Dinosaur Museum.
I lose my debit card for the 3rd time in 2 months.

MAY
Lindy graduates from preschool.
I fall off a "wiggle car" and bruise my tailbone (and my pride).
I electrocute myself while repairing my dryer. Oops.

JUNE
Curtis is blessed by his father. Our families join us for the big day.
Lindy has her ballet recital and she discovers infomercials.
We go to the zoo with Uncle Wade and Steen.

JULY
Great Grandma Radford comes for a visit.
Ian and I celebrate seven years of wedded bliss.
Ian visits Steve in England.

AUGUST
Lindy starts kindergarten.
We drive through Idaho, Montana, and Canada with a screaming baby.
We have an amazing time with the Jones family for a small reunion with Steve.

SEPTEMBER
Ellie turns three!
Lindy starts up a business selling rocks.
Our air-conditioning is finally fixed (much to my delight).

OCTOBER
My kids have a fantastic Halloween.
We celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with Aunt Jody.
I learn to let go. I decide Ellie's clothes don't have to always match.

NOVEMBER
We get our first snow and our first snowman.
Curtis crawls and sleeps through the night (for a while).
I stay up way to late to watch a midnight showing of Twilight.

DECEMBER
Uncle Steve visits for Christmas.
We send in 428 Yoplait yogurt lids.
I vow to simplify my life starting January 1, 2009.

Happy New Year everyone!

Why does this post make me cry? Oh yeah, everything makes me cry. But.... I just love how little they are...... that curly froofy hair kills me!

(p.s. I was checking out your archives to find the cat ears. I remembered they were cute. They are cute! But that was longer ago than I thought.... time goes by way too fast.)
