Well Joey turns 25 tomorrow. We are going to Conastogas in Gainseville to celebrate. He has been wanting to try their 3 lb burger contest. We will see how that goes. Ayden continues to surprise me. This week Joey was asking him a question and instead of saying "don't know" like usual, he said "I'm not sure". He's getting bigger by the second. Orson has taken a little step here and there, but is standing without holding onto anything now. I imagine he will be walking before to long. He is 9 months now, although even I think of him as a one year old just about because he is just a big boy. Ayden has been obsessed with climbing lately. I turn around and he's on my counter tops or table, or on his bunk bed. I guess he will be climbing trees with his father pretty soon. Things have been going good, we are truly blessed.

Our Family in 2009

Just wanted to give a history of our family from this last year. Orson arrived in April of 09 bringing our family to a family of four. Ayden has been an amazing big brother, wrestling with his little brother from his infancy. Nonetheless, we are preparing for the day that Orson will be able to win the battle with his older brother because we predict it won't be long before he passes him in size. Joey finished his AA and will begin his BA in History this semester at an online College out of Orlando. I am loving our house we moved into about 2 months ago, although keeping it tidy constantly is something I am still working on mastering. We have been so blessed, and know that Heavenly Father is aware of our little family.
