I really had some fantastic intentions of sending out Christmas cards and finishing my neighbor gifts (sorry all of you south of the Leavitt's:) I hate excuses so I won't give you any.
But I will recount what the letter I did type out said and fill you in on some of our intentions for 2009.
Throughout our marriage we have been blessed and we truly were this year.
First Kessler born in March and from non biased parents what a sweet baby, he is so good, and so cute! It was thankfully another good pregnancy and a delivery to remember:)
Alivia started kindergarten and she loves it, she has Miss Gurney in the PM and some comments from her teacher she is nice to everyone and is always happy.
Ben passed of STL for Target and what a RELIEF......... we are still waiting to hear what, when and how? but seriously he has worked so hard and continues to work hard for all of us, he loves his job, he loves working for a really good company.
We went on a few trips this year, another trip to Florida in February I was 8 months pregs, I have not been to Florida NOT pregnant...WTH? We made it to Kauai in June and that was a trip to remember...I loved it, it is so beautiful and I love just sitting in warm sun. Kessler did a really good job, he would fall asleep every time we would go by the ocean, it was so cute.
I continue to work for SkyWest coming up on 10 years and I am still part time and love it. I have been able to write and help develop training programs for their new hire program and their annual training program. Something that I love to be a part of.
Cooper has gained A LOT of ground this year, he would contently hang on to Livi's coat tales and go for the ride. He is gaining more confidence and is such a sweet, loving little boy. He loves dress up right now, and loves his class. He especially has loved Christmas songs this year, you will hear him singing randomly through the day.
Bauer is the brute, he is the tough guy. It takes A LOT to make him cry, but when he does get sad enough to cry, he makes Kessler cry it actually really cute to see.
Kessler is on his way crawling, walking along things and loves to dance, just say the word dance and he starts to sway.
Our goals this year, well I did accomplish my goal that I set last year, so we have to step it up a notch this year. I am still thinking of some goals that I feel I could work on, but here is the starting point.
Ben's goal is to gain weight, ummmm yeah who does that, oh wait the Whidden's do.
He made that goal because when we went on a cruise in 2007 in the picture you can see his ribs and so he wants to fill in some chubby by his ribs?!? and he wants to work out more consistently, (more than once a month)
I on the other hand want to trim up or would it be down? I actually love to exercise, and to lift weights. My goal is to keep working out and build up each week to longer and stronger.
Also I want to study something each week and post a quote or a saying from the subject on my mirror for that week to think about.
I also want to get my photos organized, that will take me ALL YEAR LONG for sure.
Anyway happy new year, to health, happiness, love and Joy in the Journey:)
The Whidden's
