New Look, New Year

Happy belated 2009! No, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but if it gets much colder here... Just kidding.

We are easing into the new year, a year of transition for me. Leaving my job after eight years has been difficult, but I am teaching off and on and looking for a full time position for next year. Addie is doing great a pre-school, what a difference winter break has made in her approach to school. No more tears - yeah. Jax is doing really well- he is getting his ear tubes put in Friday morning so keep us in your thoughts. It sounds pretty simple, we are hoping everything goes smoothly. He is doing wonderful in speech therapy, so the tubes should really help with his articulation. He is trying to say/mimic everything lately.

Our little guy is TWO - welcome toddlerhood. He has grown so much over the last four months at home with us. He has gained about 6.5 pounds, and has grown at least two inches. His hair is coming in thick and shiny, no more baby fuzz. We celebrated at our favorite Chinese restaurant. This is quite a change from last year when we celebrated there with his referral picture. Now we have the real thing and he is just the best son and little brother we could have ever dreamed of. We are doubly blessed.
We are looking forward to this new year with hope and optimism, we are definitely ready for some CHANGE! Only a week to go.

Hi Tracy and family! How fun to read your updates. It sounds like things at your house are wonderful. I'm glad your holidays were great. I'm sure that having Jackson with you this year was a huge blessing.

Love seeing all of the photos, and your new design is very pretty. Tell the fam we said, "hello".
