The Year in Review

So it is a few hours before the end of 2009 and I decided to take a quick and brief look back at the year. Overall it was a good one. We have a roof over our heads, food on the table and we all are in perfect health- so we have nothing to complain about.
Gabi lost her first (and second) tooth, started reading, started Sunday school, started Girl Scouts and continues to be an amazing daughter. Aidan moved out of the toddler bed and now has a big boy bed, is talking up a storm, went to his first movie, he is enjoying reading books rather than eat them, and is always ready with big wet kisses. Tony is happy at the bank and I myself faced my biggest challenge...changing grades from Kindergarten to First.
We did lots of amazing things as a family. We were fortunate enough to have the Weissberg's come visit in Feb. for my birthday and for Gabi's first show production. We got to fly to Pa. to visit with the Calabretti's for a week and be with family. We went to see the Liberty Bell and go to the Crayola Factory. Then again in June, I took the kids to Florida to visit my mom and dad. The kids experienced Disney World for the first time, go to the beach and aquarium. We got to spend the 4th of July in Lake Havasu, be with our amazing chavurah and spend time together.
It was a great year but I am excited to see what lies in the future for the Calabretti's in the months ahead.
One exciting event will be that in 2010 Tony and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and we are going away WITHOUT the kids (something we have never done before). I am going to yet 2 more U2 concerts. Most importantly we get to watch Gabi and Aidan (and of course Towson) continue to grow and amaze us.
May the new year bring amazing things for all of us.
