It’s time for another update… I know that it’s almost a new year but that’s okay b/c it does not hear yet… So it’s time for a Christmas Recap and a Year round up….
Christmas has come and gone and it was a lot of fun at the Wagner Zoo! We didn’t travel for much which was kind of nice but we were able to see the family and the girls were able to have a Christmas morning at home which was really nice. I was kind of afraid we wouldn’t have that for the girls but we did.
The girls were gifted LOTS of presents from Santa. He felt the girls were extra good this year, which is kind of strange the short time leading up to Christmas Lehna developed the WORST attitude and I kept having to threaten to call Santa, but maybe she figured that Santa had already gotten her toys ready so it didn’t matter what she did, who knows. But Maya’s large present this year was a Lovin Family doll house complete with all the rooms except the parent’s bedroom and Santa couldn’t find it ANYWHERE! So that is the only room she didn’t have. But she had a van and several other “extra” toys to play with it… And she really likes it we all were playing it and she just laughed and played it was fun. Lehna got a lot of “girly” things this year, things like make up and jewelry she really wanted that kind of stuff and that’s what she got. She seems to really enjoy girlie stuff so Santa got her a bunch of that kind of thing. She seems pretty happy with all of her gifts.
After our Christmas Morning I made breakfast and we headed down to Indiana for Dinner at Grandma’s. It was actually a pretty easy trip I wasn’t sure what traffic was going to be like and it was actually good traveling. We went down and saw the family and that was fun. We were even able to bring home the victory of Trivia Pursuit. So in your face on that! Just kidding of course. We didn’t do any family pictures though so that was kind of strange, but we did play the family gift game and Tait and I brought home so cool Purdue clothing! I was excited b/c they don’t sell anything Purdue up here and I didn’t want to order any online b/c then it was SUPER expensive to go that route. After dinner we went to Marcus and Jackie’s where the girls got to see Evan and Zachary and they treated very nice to lunch and breakfast. The girls really had a good time playing with their cousins. And I had a good time hanging out with my Brothers and sisters.
The next morning we headed to Williamsport to see Tait’s side of the family. I’m glad that they have their get together the day after b/c that makes it easier on us to be able to see everyone. So we spent some time there and after dinner we headed back to Wisconsin. The roads were CRAZY coming back right around Williamsport but as soon as we hit the interstate the roads were great. The trip back was fine.
The factory that we are working at has been laying off employees b/c the “busy” season is now over, which kind of sucks for us b/c now I am kind of over staffed. But we are trying to come up with things to keep us busy.
So now a year in review.
Well this year has come and gone so quickly. We have made some major changes and I have to say so far the changes have been good. We decided to have a fresh start and decided to move to Wisconsin to kind of start over. Tait took a job for the state of WI and after 6 months he decided it wasn’t the job for him and switched to a new job. He loves his new job and it doesn’t have commute so it’s a plus for him and our wallets. The girls and I moved up here in April and I was unemployed for a couple of months. I enjoyed being a stay at home mom but really wanted to find a job doing something so I could feel like I was contributing to our financial needs. Soon something fell into line for me and I was able to get a job a new an exciting challenge. I really enjoy what I do I like being the leader so it’s fun.
We have moved twice since moving to WI and I like our second house the best it’s smaller but it “fits” better for us the neighbor is nice and there is a park just down the street. We have new callings in our church and as or right now we are doing it, but wish we could have something else. We are also one more step closer to getting to the temple which is something we have been working as a couple for the past several months. I know that when we FINALLY get there it will be well worth all the effort.
The girls have really grown this year. Lehna still asks to go back to her “old” house in Indiana but I really don’t think she remembers a lot about it. I think when we move it makes her anxious I was moving some stuff around in there room the other day and she asked me if we were moving and after I told her no the worried looked left her face. I guess too many changes for a 4 year old is too too many. Maya still is my baby even though she is getting so big. She is going through another growth spurt so she is starting to lose her baby fat around her tummy. She still refuses to be potty trained doesn’t want anything to do with it and still takes a Pacifier but she is going to lose it next month. She can’t be three and have a pass I won’t allow it. So I think it will be harder to break for Maya than it was Lehna b/c Lehna wasn’t taking it at daycare where Maya has hers ALL THE TIME!
Lehna loves preschool she is making a lot of friends and seems to have fun going every Tuesday and Thursday she doesn’t like it when the handicapped children come in after swimming though she still gets really anxious and starts to scramble for the teacher. I guess after having ONE kid growl at her has really turned her off. She is getting so big that some times I have to remind myself she IS only four so I have to let some things go when she’s being a BRAT! But hopefully this next year will bring some more positive things and the girls will continue to be happy. I know that after getting sealed in the temple I will feel better about my relationship with Heavenly father and the relationship I have with my husband; we just have to keep everything into perspective.
So that was 2009 so let’s press on into 2010 and hope for fun things to happen!
