Happy 2009!

Happy New Year to my family and friends. It has been a long while since my last post and a lot has happened. I will try to give you the shortest version I can.....
Our biggest news of the year, as I am sure you will all agree, was the arrival of our baby girl, Lexie Aliya. She was born on August 13th weighing in at 8 lbs and 9oz. She is now almost 5 months old and doing great! We did a lot of travelling throughout the summer, and fit in quite a few camping trips. Fall found us driving back and forth to swimming lessons (both Nick and Kayla) and Sparks (Kayla). Winter found us, still driving back and forth to swimming although only twice a week now. Nick is 1/3 the way through Grade 2, and still likes to go to school. He is doing great; only needs to work on listening more and talking less. (gee, I wonder where that comes from) Kayla will start Kindergarten this coming September, even though she wishes she was there now. It's hard to be February baby. Christmas and New Years came and went as fast as it always does. Luckily we found the time to share it with family and friends and to have a good time. I don't want to say that I have made any new year resolutions, because you can't break 'em if you don't got 'em, but I do have a few goals that I would like to work towards in the year to come. That pretty much brings us to today. I hope that you will check back periodically to read about what is going in our household and to see what's new. I will try to keep it as updated as possible and promise to post lots of pictures of the kids.
