The year of 2010. At a glance, I'd call it one of those "middle years" kind of like a middle movie that basically function to pull the first and last movies together. But really, 2010 was nothing like a "middle year". Firstly, our wonderful little girl was born in March. It was such an awesome way to open a fairly new year. Kailey has been an amazing baby. Meme, Michael's grandmother, said she was just "smart and moving over for the next one." ha ha well, I suppose she was right. But truly, Kailey has been an awesome sleeper. She loves her crib. What kind of baby would rather have her crib than the supportive comfort of arms or mom's bed? I lay her down, and I'd say 90% of the time she goes right to sleep. Aside from that, I'd love to brag on her sweet, fun personality. She is always smiling. A sweet lady at our church said, "she smiles with her eyes." It was so sweet of her to say (and ironic because I remember having the same thought cross my mind before that moment). Sometimes I think I could cover up her mouth and easily tell whether she is smiling or not just by those little eyes. She hit many milestones that have been a blessing to witness and she also celebrated her first Halloween (as Poison Ivy from Batman) and Christmas!
Haiden turned three and it has been neat to see how he has progressed this year. His speech is great-- which I'm thankful for! His play time became more interactive with not only others but within his own imagination. My little man is growing so fast and it brings tears to my eyes... both happy and admit-ably sad. I love watching him grow, but by the same token.. I wish he would slow down so I catch a breath.
Michael has been through 2 clinical sites! He went through Montiplier, Idaho and at the moment he is still in Ogden. I can remember us thinking and talking about clinicals way before they started. I dreaded them then, and I still dread them now. ha Ogden has been good though. He drives there and back... a 45 min drive isn't too bad. I'll say the only clinical site I'm really dreading is El paso, Texas! ugh. I don't even like thinking about it.
This time last year moved from Salt lake to Orem. That move has been good. We've enjoyed being close to Keri and Scott who also moved to our same apts. Did I mention that they are actually just above us? So, bearing in mind that we have no idea where the end of 2011 will take us, it has been nice being able to hang out with them often.
All in all, 2010 was a wonderful year. It brought hard times, but also great times. Thank you to my Heavenly Father for watching over us. =)
