2009 was a pretty good year. We started off with two major milestones. One being the decision we made for me to stay home with the boys and the other was the amazing home birth we had to welcome our son into our family. The experience with our home birth will be really hard to top. Everything following that has been great. Our family is growing and we are exactly where we want to be. I’m finally settled in to the stay at home mom role, and John is working every day towards his dream of working for himself. My business has shifted into making things that I truly love and I’m actually starting to be successful with it. Maybe this year, with Archer being older, I can spend more time doing craft shows and festivals. I think selling locally would be a good avenue to try.

ANYWAY, back to the family as a whole. We have grown quite a bit over the past year. Jackson is now in preschool and has gracefully filled the position of the older brother. He is so good with his little brother. Archer is nearly a year old and is very close to walking. He takes a step here and there. John is getting closer to figuring out what to do with his love for vintage things. He loves both the hunt and the items, and he’s ready to try to make some money from this hobby. I am in love with staying home with my boys, and I really enjoy working on getting my business to grow. Overall, we are really happy, and 2009 was very good to us.
