It's hard to believe that 2010 is here already! It seems the older I get, the faster time flies! I sure do have a lot of fond memories of ole' 2009 though...I am thankful that technology allows us to capture moments in time to enjoy and share as often as we like...some of my favorite 2009 memories include:
- The addition of Clementine to our animal luvin' family
- The Little Brat's first solo horseback ride
- The Little Brat's first horse show
- Enjoying the friendship of fellow horse-women
- My never-ending pursuit of culinary mediocrity
- A Father's Day gift that doesn't take batteries
- Kickin' back at the KOA
- Watching Fancy come into her own
- Hunting Fairies
- Building things with Gpa Craig
- Planting our first family garden with Gma Kathy
- ...and last but not least: A special announcement!
...and buying for a boy? This is completely new to me...but I think I can get used to it...the cuteness is overwhelming!
...our car seats and stroller are (once we actually get them) going to be a black and white base...so when I saw this lady-bug pattern blanket set at Target I just had to scoop them up! No luck finding a Codie equivalent, so I bought him another sleeper to make up for it ;)
Here is a picture of the Bumbleride stroller that I am just GAGA over! It's pricey, so I'm saving my pennies...I ran into a young mother of twins just the other day and she was pushing her darling girls in one...she let me try it out! It was LIGHT, EASY to maneuver, and STURDY...it has adapters for the infant car seats too! I'm sold...Can't wait to bring it home...
..and since I'm in the baby preparation mood today, I decided to start a registry at Target to list some of the essentials we are going to need after these punks arrive...a friend of mine asked that I register so she can organize a baby shower for us, but I'm not sold on the idea...after all, this is our second pregnancy...I always thought you only held a shower for your first born...what are your thoughts? ...I opted to do one for JR and I to better focus on and budget for our needs...it made it real simple to print off our 'must haves' and how much we need to budget for them btwn now and D-Day...

....but, I'm not skeered....bring it on 2010!
Happy New Years!
