Memorable Thanksgiving spent with the Cano's.



Me and the honey go on our yearly overnighter. Shopping, The Roof, and Grand America.



Joyous and magical Christmas season shared with our loved ones.

2009, the end of a decade. Can't believe it. It was a good year for our family, lots of changes, a few tears, lessons learned, countless smiles and memories made. Another year to look back on and be grateful for the lives we are leading. Love this little family of mine. So very blessed to spend my waking moments raising my boys, watching them grow before my very eyes. Excited to see what 2010 holds for us. I am sure we will be faced with our struggles just like everyone else, but I also know that as long as we have each other the good will always outweigh the bad. So farewell to 2009, and welcome 2010!
