Waving Goodbye to 2010

2010 has brought us our fair share of bruises and bumps, falls from scooters & bikes, and band-aids and cuts. As well as fevers, diarrhea, snotty noses, croupy coughs, allergies, and perpetual colds. It was also the year we lost Jeff's aunt and a family friend far too soon.

This year certainly delivered on whining, fussing, selective hearing, tantrums, fighting, bickering, tears, and time outs.

For added fun, 2010 tossed in an economic recession, an epidural that quit too soon, sleepless nights, a constipated baby, nose bleeds, and plenty of dog vomit. After all, variety is the spice of life, right?

However.

With the bad, 2010 found a way to bring a whole lotta good.

2010 brought us plenty of love,
much happiness,
time spent with family,
overall good health,
the best hugs,
kisses (the dry ones & the slobbery baby ones),
William Jeffrey,
happy tears,
acts of kindness,
birthdays,
an 8 year wedding anniversary,
smiles,
tons of brotherly love,
many moments of parental pride,
lots of laughter,
countless I love you's,
a baby boy hitting milestones left and right,
a boy who loves preschool,
a boy who loves Kindergarten,
a continued ability to be home with my kids,
a beach trip,
a new camera,
the Hokies winning the ACC Championship,
an abundance of Peppermint Patties,
and a White Christmas.

And 2010 made our family complete. Something I will always remember when I think about this year.

Goodbye for now, 2010. We're grateful for all the good times and memories you gave us.
(Will showing off his last new trick of the year...waving.)



Farewell! Here's to a very happy 2011!
