2010: The year we make...umm... GET BACK in Contact

Well, where to start...2010 began as 2009 ending - BUSY!

We've had...
Busy work schedules

• Matt's been working mega hours

Dance classes

• Allie's recital is this weekend. They are doing "Got No Strings" and "Music Box Dancer". Watch for post and pictures soon.
  

Soccer practices and games

• Donovan and Allie had practices on the same night-just a few minutes apart at different parks. Both are naturals. Donovan position is defender - which he loves!! This was Donovan's last year with his team. Team has 10 players, 9 of which have played together since Kindergarten. Great Coach, Great Times, Great Team. See Soccer post for more.

Jess's wedding/shower/bacheloretter party planning

• Wedding is September 4th - approaching fast! Enough said.
  

Baseball and Hockey

• Donovan started baseball a few weeks ago. Practice one night, games 2 nights a week. Oh, and did I mention throw some of Matt's hockey in the miss.
  

Well, that's it in a nutshell, but, Teasers...I added a few coming soon posts. I'll be updating those shortly with more details of Our Life As We Know It!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Can't believe our baby girl is getting so big. Where have the past five years gone.

Allison has accomplished alot in the last year.

Allie can:
* Do addition (see 4 Year Old Math post)
* Read Dick and Jane books
* Write her full name, alphabet (upper and
lowercase and numbers
* Spell simple words - cat, dog, Mom, Dad

And all of this gives her a great start for Kindergarten in the fall!

Soccer and More Soccer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONOVAN!

We are Family

I am very happy to announce that, my sister, Jessica is engaged to Chad Elliott. I received the happy news on Sunday.

The proposal was Saturday, July 18th - Chad met Jess at the front door and took her into the dining room to a open chair, a table full of red roses and a small red box. After tearfully reading Jess verses from the bible on Love, Chad asked Jess to marry him and she accepted. Their date is set for September 4, 2010.

We wish them a Amazing Wedding Day, Blessed Marriage and a Lifetime of Happiness.

Here's to the future Mr. and Mrs. Chad Elliott!

*** In true Allie style, she stole the show and a few hearts, by saying out of the blue, "Good Bye Uncle Chad", when we were leaving from dinner. ***
