Welcome to the New Year! We are excited about 2010 and hoping for another great year! We have been extraordinarily busy, so this update is a big one! It covers October 2009 through January 2010. We had a wonderful holiday season, and have been busy with Taekwondo and Joong Bong Sul, school activities for Sage, Preschool activities for Braeden, Mike turned the big 4-0, and we went to Cincinnati and Louisville for Thanksgiving. The boys had an awesome Halloween as Ironman and Wolverine, and Mike and Nichole celebrated their 8 year anniversary with their annual trip to the Metrodome to see the Vikings beat the Ravens!
Please forgive me as some of the pictures may be out of sequence with regard to date, but they are all great!
Happy 2010!!!!!
