Farewell to 2006!!!!!!!!

With 2006 quickly coming to an end, I thought it was a good time to do a recap of the year and things we have to be thankful for. The top 10 highlights this year have been..........

1.) Alex started preschool in September, and after a challenging start, is doing wonderfully!
2.) We received very positive news from doctors in NYC regarding Alex's KTS, and her MRI showed NO abnormalities.
3.) Alex is now finally fully potty trained.
4.) So many of my friends brought home their children this year. Congrats to Michelle, Alyssa, Leslie, Molly, Gen and Claire (...sorry, I know I am forgetting someone)
5.) After 12 years...I finally earned my 2-yr degree.
6.) I somehow managed to swing an "A" in statistics! (Thanks to a very understanding and compassionate instructor, as well as a friend who wouldn't let me quit...thanks Teri!)
7.) Our annual Trip to TN, which included the company of my grandparents. What a blessing it is to have them alive and well and all to ourselves for 10 days! And of course, our TN friends: Shane, Jen, and Hannah Grace.
8. ) Our decision to adopt again!!!!!
9. ) We have the best family and friends that anyone coud wish for.
10.) In 4 more days, Shawn and I will celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss. OK, "bliss" might be a bit of an exaggeration....but I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world!
