Dearest Family and Friends,
2009 has been very good to our family of four! We were so very blessed to have not had any major unfortunate events weigh upon us as so many others have. Although our resolutions for 2009 were not completely met, we feel as though we've exceeded our expectations! We're in the final stages of remodelling our UP house, and hopefully, and God-willing, we'll be able to see the title pass to the next homeowner.
Kayleigh this year began her first year of preschool at St. Jude's Catholic School, and is doing well learning from her teachers, Mrs. Heinz and Mrs. Maroon. She's made many friends, and we have as well through her school. She's still working on her colors, but we were told she does much better when M&M's are involved. She can say the pledge of allegiance, her abc's, and now, the Our Father (which we must note, she prays, "Give us this day, our daily breakfastes, and lead us not into Texas," which we both find hilarious)! She's recognizing many of letters now, but the four/five still confuddles her (she'll usually say one or the other when she's counting). When we see letters, she'll point them out and say, "What lower case is that Mommy?" She's just learning leaps and bounds and we're sooo proud of her.
Kevin turned one in June, and Mommy and he enjoy their time together while Sissy is at school and Daddy is at work. He's very interested in his shoes, and helps bring Daddy and Mommy their shoes when it's time to go somewhere (he even likes to bring them sometimes when it's not time to go somewhere). He says words like No, Don't, I-Wan-Mo', Shoes, Keys, Bye, Hi, Night. He gets very excited when Daddy gets home from work each night, making sure to greet him with shrieks and squeels and a big smile upon his face; he'll then proceed to babble about his day to Daddy.
Daddy is very blessed to be busy at Caterpillar, and Mommy is busy taking care of the house. The photography business has been coming along nicely too. This Christmas marks our TENTH Christmas as a couple. We are so grateful for all that 2009 has brought to us and we have big plans for 2010.

Dearest Family & Friends
Dearest Family & Friends;
We are so happy that this year has blessed our family in more ways than we can count! For starters, our family grew with the birth of our son, Kevin Lee, in June. Also, Brad accepted a position with Caterpillar in May, and we relocated to Peoria, Illinois.
Kayleigh turned two this year, and as parents, we're constantly nudging the other to look at what she's doing! She's truly a joy in our lives, and we're amazed at how smart she is. She likes Barbie Dolls and Baby Dolls, Tea Parties and helping Mommy cook. She likes building blocks with Daddy. We recently woke up to her cheerful voice asking us to have a tea party at 7 am on a Saturday, we had to smile when we noticed she had all her teacups on their color-coordinated saucers lined up and ready to go. She loves to help with her Baby Brother, and took to being a big sister right away. In fact, it was in August that she decided to try tackling Kevin's diaper by herself! She can pick him up (only if Mommy or Daddy say it's okay), and Kevin just adores her!
Kevin is sitting up on his own now, and his motor skills (grasping things or reaching them) are amazing. He loves to sit down, and just play with his toys. He like people who will listen when he wants to babble, but mostly, he's content watching Big Sister run around or playing with his toys. He's really thinned out, but he's still quite long, and looks sooo much like Daddy... We're getting ready to have him baptized in a week.
As far as the cats (Mokey and Fittenz), we still have them; Kayleigh loves them... We'll leave it at that.
Brad loves his job at Caterpillar. It's nice to be so much closer to family; travel is alot easier. We're getting used to Peoria, and the city just suits us so much better with the conveniences... Brad misses testing a little, and both Michelle and Brad miss their friends from Thief River. 2008 was just a wonderful year for us, and we are so thankful for the blessings God has given us.
We love you all, Merry Christmas, and we wish all of you a Blessed New Year!
All Our Love,
Brad & Michelle
