Bailey completed her preschool years and started kindergarten just eleven days after her fifth birthday! She loves her teacher and is a wonderful student! She rides the school bus to Judd's office every day after school which has worked out perfectly. She also participated in Upward cheerleading for the first time. I had my doubts about how she would do, but she surprised us all. She is still doing cheers in her spare time! Bailey loves playing with Barbies, drawing/coloring/writing, and watching T.V. Her favorite shows in 2010 were Hannah Montana and iCarly...our little girl is growing up! She continues to be a picky eater. She thrives on helping...she helps her brother, cleans her room, and loves to "clean" our closets!
Campbell turned two this year. He changed from a baby to a little boy right before our very eyes. His vocabulary exploded this year. He LOVES to talk...ALL the time! Campbell can be very stubborn and tempermental, after all, he is two! He is an affectionate one though - always telling us "I love you" out of the blue. Unlike his sister, he is not a picky eater and will try most anything we give him. Campbell had an obsession with Elmo and Cookie Monster for the first half of the year, then moved on to Toy Story. Woody and Buzz are practically household names around here! Campbell's biggest milestone for the year was potty training! We are so proud of him and are thankful that the process was nearly painless!
I continued to teach fourth grade language arts in Katy ISD. Being a teacher, my years start in August and end in June, so in 2010 I actually worked at two different schools within the district. My new school is much closer to home which means more time with the family. I started teaching the Toddler (18 months - 3 years) Sunday School class at church which has been a blessing, especially since Campbell is in the class. I celebrated my last birthday of my twenties in 2010 - looking forward (I think) to turning the big 3-0 in 2011.
Judd continues to serve as the Youth Pastor at our church. The youth ministry is growing by leaps and bounds. It is exciting to see what God is doing there. Our church started a building project this year. We moved out of the church and into the Junior High School auditorium in September, which has made for some interesting arrangements. For example, the youth meet at a local coffee shop for Sunday School and on Wednesday nights. Judd has been able to balance all of that craziness with being ever-present to us at home. We are so thankful for his dedication to our family.
We are so blessed! Here's to 2011!
"God has given us these times of JOY." Psalm 81:4
