A Year in Review

So...it's the last of day of 2010 and I have been reflecting on what an amazing year it has been for this family! The following is a list of events that made this year one for the books-

January: We took a great trip to San Francisco, Rhonen began trying to stand and we found out we were expecting our second baby, Jackson.

February: Rhonen turned 9 months and began his love for destroying (see February blog)

March: Dustin and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, we took a fabulous vacation to Yosemite, Rhonen got his first haircut and took his first steps!!!

April: Had a sweet play date in the park and Rhonen starred in a Public Service video for healthy nutrition.

May: Rhonen turned 1! and we partied like toddlers for Rhonen's big day, I celebrated my first Mother's Day and we found out we were having another beautiful boy.

June: We went to the 32 Annual Holley/Baker/August family reunion and had a blast, we took Rhonen to his second Giants game and he went for his first swim in the pool.

July: I was enduring a hot, pregnant summer, Rhonen really began talking more and he gave up the bottle.

August: We started our baby countdown, we began looking at houses to buy (that apartment was shrinking by the day :), we took Rhonen to the zoo with Gigi and Grandpa Carl and I was thrown a surprise baby shower!

September: Jackson John Holley made his entrance into the world! This was the only event that mattered :)))

October: We adjusted to having two children...we're still adjusting. We had a Billy Idol and Tigger for Halloween.

November: Rhonen turned 1 1/2 and Jackson 2 months, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, and we put an offer in on a house!

December: We closed escrow on the 10th and it's been a whirlwind ever since! We spent a great Christmas in San Jose with family, and began settling into our home.

Which brings me to tonight. We have had quite the year and I can't wait to see what 2011 will bring. Owning our home is such a blessing and we couldn't have done it without the help of our families :) We're so fortunate to have such loving & caring people surrounding us. As I sit here tonight...I am quite content.
