2009 in review

Jan- Joseph turned two years old. We celebrated his birthday early because Joe left for OTS on Jan 13. We put our house on the market and moved in with my parents while Joe was gone.

March- Joseph and I went to see Aunt Jean in Florida. Aunt Crystal and Ryan were able to go also. We had a great spring break mommy style.

April- We sold our house!! What a relief it was to sell before we left Texas. Joe graduated OTS and we moved to Ohio. It was very sad leaving family and friends but what a great adventure for our family.

May- We celebrated Mother's day with Joe's mom. We surprised her with our visit. We also had to go back to Alabama for ASBC for six weeks. I am so glad that we went because we met some really great people while we were there.





June- We celebrated our 5th anniversary going to dinner and then to Gulf Shore Alabama. Joseph loves the water and the sand. Joseph and I went to Texas for 2 wks to visit family. We had a great time. Joseph loves to play with his cousins. Before we went back to Ohio we were able to go visit Joe's sister in Ft Walton Beach, Fl. Joseph had a blast playing with Ryan.

July- Joseph and I went back to Mimi and Gramps house for the circus parade. It was alot of fun so we decided to stay longer then we had planned.

Aug- On the 28th we found out were are expecting our second baby. The baby is due on May 6 but I will have a c-section the last week in April. We also celebrated Aunt Jean's 30th bday in Chicago. Aunt Jean and Uncle Case planned well for our time in Chicago. We went to the Aquarium which was amazing and we also went to the Navy Pier. At the Pier we rented a quad cycle. We had a blast on that thing and I think Joseph liked it also.

September- We went back to Texas to visit. Mostly we just hung out with family and some friends.

October- We went back to Milwaukee because Aunt Crystal, Ryan, and Aunt Jean was in town. We went to a petting zoo/ pumpkin patch. Joseph had a blast chasing around the goats and picking out some pumpkins.





November- We drove to Texas for Thanksgiving. We had a great time but man it is a long drive. Joseph kept saying Nana's house is far from my house. Yes it is baby.



Dec- We found out we are having another boy. We are so excited to give Joseph a brother/best friend. His name will be Dock Levi. He is named after my grandfather and he will go by Levi. I love to hear Joseph say the name Levi. We spent Christmas with Joe's mom and step dad in Milwaukee. We were able to take Joseph sledding which he loved. Santa was very good to Joseph also.
