Top 10 Happenings in the lives of the kids for 2010 (in no particular order)
- I had open heart surgery in January. That was the biggest happening of the year by far. Doing well, btw. Thanks for asking.
- Went camping at Yellowstone in late May in freezing rain and snowing conditions. Tested our grit and our toughness. Good thing we only live 2 hours away.
- Caitlynn and Miles sold lemonade in the neighborhood to make a little money. Miles told everyone it was $25/cup instead of 25¢/cup. Big difference.
- Along those same lines, Caitlynn made potholders and sold them for a $1 to our neighbors. Suckers!
- Both Caitlynn and Miles learned how to ride their bikes over the summer.
- Miles started Kindergarten in the fall.
- We traveled back east to visit our families. Stopped at Wall Drug in South Dakota on the way home. Don't understand what the fuss is all about.
- Visited Stormy (and kids) in Colorado. It was our first time to Colorado (beautiful state) and we met baby Indie, too. Caitlynn loves babies.
- Miles found out that Santa isn't real.
- Went camping at Letchworth State Park in New York. Not really exciting except that we had raccoons outside our tent each and every night. They made purring sounds, tried to find our food stash, and sniffed our heads while we slept.
I'm not sure what 2011 has in store for us. I start graduate school and will be extremely busy at the start of the year, working and being a teaching assistant in a culinary class (exciting!!!). Joe is planning to finish up his PhD by this time next year. The kids will continue to eat all the food in the house and grow taller and taller. And of course, they will continue to drive us nuts.
More antics of our lives coming soon.
Have a great holiday season!
