Happy 2009

2009 -- Odd number year. Almost every significant thing that has happened to us has happened in an odd number year. Married, 1987. We both graduated from high school and college in odd # years. Every move, except this one to AL was in an odd # year. Our boys were born in 2003 and 2007. What will 2009 bring?

We celebrated while in Texas. My brother bought poppers for the kids and we counted down to 9:00 for them (what? they can't tell time). Here is how we brought in the new year:

Rylan, Kalyssta and Kaya. Sorry, Ry, I know this is not a flattering picture.

Shanon's sister, Amanda and Kalyssta, who is not happy about the New Year!

Talon is just about to POP!

My brother, Ryan and Rylan getting in a New Year's snuggle.

More snuggling! Kaya, Kalyssta and Talon

and, more snuggling. Grandma Betty (Shanon's mom) with two of her grandchildren.

Terrin and Grandpa (Shanon's dad, who just had neck surgery).

Rylan knows how to bring in the New Year! Penny is helping.

HAPPY 2009 TO ALL!!
