Twenty. Ten

How do you say this new year we are in? I have heard 20 10 and our cute (not so) little SR in HS friend says '1 0 you know. Where did that last decade go? Whewwww!! Never mind 10 years.....I haven't written a single memory in a year. Awful.

But here we go!

Happy New Year family and friends. At the moment it is a balmy 32 degrees. IN FLORIDA. Some parts saw flurries. Do you believe that? Secretly in my head I joke that perhaps hell has frozen over??? This cold weather is crazy. I longed for a break from 90+ degree days still in November, but this is crazy. AND praise God...short lived. We should hit 70 mid week. THAT I will take. 60 is cold to me now!

We had a good 2009. Bob and I celebrated 10 years of marriage! 10 years! A whole decade. We have renewed our contract for an undisclosed time.

Lina is 6 (and 1/2) in 1st grade. She is having a blast!! What a great year it has been for her....and me. Her teacher is a superstar. We absolutely love her. She is young and has great enthusiasm, ideas, and loves Lina. We enjoy walking up the block...most mornings. The high humidity, rain, and now this cold do make for an interesting walk though. We gave soccer a try. Lina is enjoying the church choir and recently was a "WiseGirl" in the Christmas Eve program. We are entertaining the thought of piano lessons as she loves music. She is a reading fool. We can't keep enough books in her hands. She is still a peanut losing teeth here and there. Lina has great hopes to one day be a dolphin trainer. We have become Sea World pass holders this year- thanks to our dear Amy Schu-vis. Lina would go every day. EVERY day. She loves the dolphins the most and can rattle off every fact there is to know about these amazing sea creatures. I love seeing her light up when it comes to sea life.

Lydia (3) started school in August. She goes 3 days a week for 3 hours. It has been wonderful for her. AND ME. : ) Lyd is a good girl in school and for that I am thankful. She is learning so much and we take that and do more at home. Her teacher is wonderful and the school is just perfect for little ones. Lydia so very much enjoys her princess world and choosing her OWN clothing each day....even if it doesn't match or what I would choose. Lydia would love to be a ballerina, but we are holding off till next school year.

Lila Joy is quickly approaching her 2nd birthday. HOW IN THE WORLD did that happen? She is a teeny tiny still. Lila finally started walking the week before Thanksgiving. Do the math. Yes, she was 21 months old!! Such a joy though, she is. A smiley girl. Giggly girl. Great eater and sleeper. She has A LOT to say. We just can't understand a word of it. Purely adorable!

I am going to be better at this. This will be nothing more than the daily doings of life around here. Feel free to check back in and see what Life with 3Ls is up to!
