Happy New Year! 2010 in Review...

As we close out 2010, it's a great time to reflect on the blessings our family received.

Max is our little rascal. He is both sweet and grumpy/grouchy at the same time. He is stingy with his smiles (although gives me the most when we are together). We love him so much. He loves playing with cords and always keeps us on our toes. Next year he becomes a big brother so it is a big transition ahead.

Andrew is our preschooler. His biggest highlight of 2010 was going to Nutcracker Suite with his mommy in Boston. He loves the music and dancing. He is also into Tangled. He still is feisty (gets this from his mommy) and always is smiling and laughing. He loved his birthday celebration this year.

Cole started first grade. He had a great trip with his mommy to Last Vegas earlier this year to visit his cousins. He was able to celebrate his sixth birthday with Allison's family in California at the beginning of July and with my family for his birthday in Michigan. He is a proud blue belt in karate. He likes being a big brother.

Allison ran her first half marathon in Northern Vermont with two of her friends this spring. She has been a fantastic mother to our boys. Now as she starts her third trimester, we prepare for boy number four.

In June I started a new position in Leadership training at Boston Scientific and attended my 20 year High School reunion.

As a family we were fortunate to have been able to travel to visit with family in Las Vegas, California, and Michigan. We had two of Allison's sisters visit our home during the second half of the year. We explored the white mountains of New Hampshire and green mountains of Vermont. We had some great beach trips to the North Shore.

We have been blessed this year and look forward to the changes that 2011 bring.
