Memories of 2010

Christmas 2010

As I went to the party store yesterday to pick up a few noise makers, hats, and decorations for the "Kids" version New Years Eve Party we are having.... It got me to thinking about how Blessed this past year was for our family....

As I write this blog and think over the past year I am thankful that I have a very growing family of 7.....Although this year has come with happiness and it's challenges and especially the stress of the everyday things again I can only say it's great to have a family... to share things with, to laugh or cry with and especially to lean on and count on.....

For Milton it's been a big year... A junior in high school... already talking about Graduation and all the fun and excitement that comes with... Making that big decisions of "What College"



Age 14

It's been a year to remember.... Nicholas got to hold a Falcon and have a Turkey vulture land on his arm....He got to meet his birth dad.... and the anticipation of becoming a freshman at the High school. 





Bethanne Age 15

 

Bethanne went to her first Homecoming dance.... Being a freshman at the high school is challenging ....





John Age 6



John amazement when he asked for a swimming pool for his birthday and he got one... First year of Kindergarten an adjustment but he is making it.... John is now official with his adoption in May.



Age 2



Christian has had an amazing year of challenges and new experiences that has brought amazement to us... His love of the new things he can learn and the excitement he loves to experience.  He's growing fast... Christian became a official part of the family .....

I love each one of them for their own corks... their unending love... their smiles and the amazement every time something happens new.... 

For Chuck and I we celebrated a big anniversary our 15th... In this day an age that's along time to be married.... Were thankful that Chuck still has a job, one that he loves... and I am thankful that the money stretched so that I still can continue to stay at home an raise our great bunch!!

We enjoy the smallest of things... Birthdays.... Steelers Football.... Playing..... going to places that bring hours of fun.... Our family vacations.... But most of all just the every night around the dinner table discussions....

It's great having a family to love and a family that loves you back... No questions.....

So, here's wishing you and yours a Blessed and Happy New Year!
Love, The Hughes
