dear kids...

it's the night of jan 1, 2010
and 3 of you are having a slumber party together.
it took you a while to fall asleep.
lots of talking, laughing, calling for a parent because someone
accidently kicked someone in the face...the usual stuff.

you're pretty much clueless to what a "new year" really means.
to you, it's just january.
christmas is over and you'll be back to school soon.

but for us,
it's the realization that we've been a family for 10 years {wow}.
first just the 2 of us,
then all of you guys in span of 5-1/2 years {wow}.

it's been a crazy ride.
a fun ride.
a busy ride.
a happy ride.
{a ride we want off sometimes - think car trips - ha ha!}
but overall a ride we are lucky to be on.

so keep sleeping kiddos.
next year your slumber party will be a little more crowded
as josie realizes you're all having fun without her!

enjoy being silly and crazy in 2010.
even if you are clueless as to what another year means,
just know that we love you.



happy 2010 kids!

love, mommy & daddy
