As I am writing this it is almost 11 PM, and I am thinking we might actually make it to the New Year! For those that have young kids, you know what an accomplishment that is---especially because the kids don't care how late you are up. They are at your bed, screaming your name at 7 AM.
I thought it would be fun to do a top 10 of 2009 (if I can think of 10 things, that is):
1. The birth of our son, Matthew Jason, on June 22nd.
2. Ella and Laney starting a new preschool and loving it!
3. Ella getting to ride a big school bus on the way to speech. She mastered her "k" and "g" sounds.
4. Many celebrations (bbqs, birthdays, just because) with fantastic friends that we are blessed to have.
5. A great year with our small group from church by studying Hosea and reading the book "Outflow."
6. Ella learned to pump her legs when swinging on a swing set (this is HUGE!).
7. We went on family vacations to the Great Wolf Lodge and to Tennessee.
8. Laney graduated from physical therapy and is now above the curve for gross motor skills (as ironic as that is).
9. Matthew cooing, laughing, sitting, rolling, army crawling (but apparently not mastering the sleeping through the night thing...grrrrr).
10. Laney was potty trained!!!!! She also started counting to 20 (to 10 in spanish) and learning her numbers.
11. Ella got her tonsils out and Jason helped ensure our family stayed a "party of 5."
Fun things for 2010:
--NO babies for us :)
--Our 10 year anniversary
--Trips to Michigan, Florida, Vegas, Great Wolf Lodge, and hopefully an anniversary trip
--Ella starting kindergarten
--Ella turning 5, Laney turning 4 and Matthew turning 1
We wish everybody a wonderful and healthy 2010.

Yay! What a great year! It was really fun hanging out with you guys tonight. Happy New Year!!
What a year! The Willett family sure had many blessings! Can't wait to see what other blessings come in 2010!
What a great way to recap the year! It's fun to sit back and think about the top events that have happened throughout the year. Plus, I'm glad we joined the Bible study so we could make it on the list. Whoo-hoo!
You forgot one thing to look forward to in 2010: the Schenher family trip to South Carolina, remember? ;)
