2010 Year In Review


Well, another year has flown by! "They" weren't joking when they said time flies when you have kids! God has blessed us so much and we are thankful for that! Here are a few highlights from the year.....

Jan. - We spent the New Year in Oklahoma and got to play in lots of snow!!!! Christy turned 30 and had a great 011110 birthday game night! Hannah saw a GI Dr. and started on a nutritional supplement and she has grown in inches and has gained weight, as well as gotten her hair to grow back in the last 12 months! Hopefully in 2011 we can get her off the supplement!

Feb. - My Valentine baby, Benjamin, turned 3! Right before Christmas he had memorized the book "Where the Wild Things Are"and loved "reading" it! So he and Hannah had a "Wild Things" birthday party. Hannah turned 4 on the 16th and started talking about when she would turn 5!

March - We got a van! After much prayer for a van, we were finally able to find one we could afford! Once we got the van I lit the fire for us to start the Adoption Process! We attended an informational meeting for Heaven Sent Children in mid-March.

April - We sent in our official application for Heaven Sent Children and started adoption process #3!

May - Nashville Flooded - thankfully we were unharmed but so many lost everything. We had our homestudy visits and finished them up by the end of the month.

June - Daniel and I participated in the annual Relay for Life, this was our 3rd year to participate. We also took a road trip on Route 254 (VBS). Daniel turned 30!

July - The Littleton crew and Davis crew loaded up and headed to Oklahoma. We went to surprise Grandad for his 80th birthday! It was so much fun. His birthday party was at the aquarium. The whole family was there and Daniel got to meet Uncle Richard for the first time (my Mom's brother)! We also officially got our homestudy approved!

August - Daniel got to take a group of Middle School kids to Centri-kid in AL. Hannah, Benjamin, and Elam started homeschool preschool! Beau and Aunt Haley helped too! What fun!

September - November - Christy started keeping sweet baby Joshua, still homeschooling, and keeping busy with church and family events. Jonathan and Julie brought home baby Joy in October!

December - We had a fun Christmas with our families, baby Hope was born the 30th to Adam and Melanie.

That is about it! We are now just in the waiting process for our adoption. Our profile has been viewed one time that we know of, and she never got back to the agency with a decision. We know God's timing is best. Hopefully we will welcome a new little one in 2011! We will see. We are thankful for God's many blessings. Daniel is still working on editing Sunday School literature and really enjoys his job. He is also still the student minister at our church. We have shifted our focus to Middle School Ministry in the past year. Christy enjoys homeschooling and babysitting. The kids are getting so big and are such a joy! I love to hear the things they will say. Just today Hannah told me when we get a new baby we are going to name her Sally Ride!
