So there you have it, our 2010 review!
I am so excited for this new year! I am excited to get this baby outta me--only a month to go! When I look back at 2010 it's hard to believe we were still doing chemotherapy with Dylan. While it seems so long ago, it is always fresh on my mind! The emotions are still there. I still get overwhelmed thinking about it all. We have met incredible people along the way. Our eyes have been opened to a world we never expected to be a part of. How thankful I am for our journey. A road paved with lots of bumps and unexpected turns. My heart is full. As I read about other children and families going through similar experiences my heart goes out to them. I hope they can find the same peace and comfort that Paul and I have found through the gospel and our loving Heavenly Father. I know that we/Dylan have been given this trial to make us stronger and better people. I hope I never forget the details of what we've been through as a family. I hope I can be there for other families like so many have been there for us!
We are looking forward to Samantha {that is what we are naming baby #3} joining our family. The boys are excited to meet her and I am excited to get her outta my belly! I can't wait to have a newborn around again. I will miss my sleep dearly...I already am, but I am so ready!
Connor can't wait to go back to preschool to play with his friends and Paul {who has had over a week off} goes back to work tomorrow!
As life gets back to the same routine, I am excited for the big changes about to happen in our family!
and since I am too lazy to post pictures for every month...here are two from our New Year's Eve date night to Texas Roadhouse!
