As 2010 is just around the corner, I sit and reflect back on 2009. It's been a busy year and one that will forever be memorable.
January...we celebrated Christmas with the Goodharts and had a great time with the Yankee Swap. Obama was elected president, which brought many changes, even within our own household. Our good friends Brian and John adopted their beautiful daughter Ella. Lastly we threw Ben a going away party, as we all thought he would be joining the Army. (As we later found out, that was just not in the cards for him, :) I can't say many people complained. We also learned that there would be a new addition to the extended family, Sarah found out she was pregnant!!!
February...a new family member was conceived. We took a very interesting trip to North Carolina to visit the in laws. It was interesting because Scott, Ben, Theresa, myself and Drake (in his carseat) took the 15 hour trip from RI to NC in a FORD FOCUS!!! We celebrated Russ' birthday in NC with most of the Dumont gang. Lastly, we celebrated Aunty Gayles and Mom's birthday at the Olive Garden.
March...we spread the word that Baby Dumont #2 would be arriving sometime in November! We celebrated Scott's 30th birthday at Village Haven with some amazing friends and family. We had our first ultrasound and saw the little baby bean. Lastly, I attended Gina's wedding shower, which was a fun day for the girls (well Drake came too.)
April...we celebrated MacKenzie's 2nd birthday in great style. We had two easters, a wonderful dinner at Theresa's and a cold breakfast at Nan's lol. We helped our good friends Will and Casey move into their beautiful new home.
May...was a crazy hectic month. We celebrated Mother's Day at Nan's outdoors. Many other events were celebrated this month...Hailey's birthday, Kameron's birthday, Pam's bridal shower, Cian's birthday party, Jacey's birthday and most importantly (to us) was our little boys 1st birthday. Drake turned 1 in Ducky style. His party was at the lake and everyone showed up to play games and have cake.
June...the month of weddings. Regina and Ryan's wedding kicked off the season. It was a beautiful day on the ocean. Later in the month Justin and Pamela had a church ceremony followed by a spectacular outdoor reception. Both brides were beautiful and the grooms were stunning. We also took Drake on his first camping trip to celebrate father's day. This was a weekend to remember with many funny stories. We also found out that we were having another little boy!
July...started out with a memorial rememberance for Ashley. Another wedding was held, Brian and John tied the knot in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony. We celebrated Aunt Lorraine retiring from the school system. We also took a memorable trip to NH. We were accompanied by my Dad and Jacob. We visited Six Gun City and Santa's village.
August...started out with our joint baby sprinkle. Mom threw a joint shower for Sarah, Kyle, Scott and I. We spent a week in NC visiting with Pat and Russ. Drake had a great time with his Nana, Pop and Tanker.
September...we spent a weekend camping at Strawberry Park. Garrett was born into Sarah and Kyle's family.
October...was spent mainly in the hospital undergoing NST's. We did our annual trip to Roger William's Zoo for Spooky Zoo with the gang. Drake went trick or treating with Kameron, Grammie, Papa, Daddy and Mommy. We also found out that there would be a new Dumont in 2010, Regina and Ryan are expecting a bundle of joy in June 2010.
November...started out with a bang. Colten Robert arrived on the 1st of November. The remainder of the month is a blur lol.
December...is blank. Not literally, but my calendar is blank. Having a newborn and a 19 month old sure will wipe out the memory. This one will be from memory so forgive me if I've forgotten anything. We celebrated Kelsey's birthday at Nan's. It was a fun night. The Dumont's arrived to RI to celebrate Christmas. Christmas eve was spent visiting our Survivor friends, visiting Jacob and Sarah, and sleeping at Mom and Pete's. Christmas morning Drake was awoken by Mommy at an early 4:45 am. Colten slept through the opening of gifts. Once all gifts were opened, we dressed and headed to Nan's. A great meal was had and more gifts were opened. After that we headed back to Mom's to round up our loot and spend some time with Nicholas (in from TN) and the family. The day after Christmas was spent with the Dumonts. In all, the boys made out like bandits. Tonight will be a night in, we spent time with the boys and they are now both peacefully in bed. The hubby and I are watching the tube and more than likely heading to bed before the ball drops.
