A year in a flash

Why do I get so behind in my blogging? My last blog was in Feb. and I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth. Well to catch up a bit we are now ending 2009 as tomorrow is the last day of the year. Austin started saying "mama" on Mother's Day, and ironically "dada" on Father's Day. What can I say, the boy likes the special holidays! :) Mikayla started Kindergarten this year and celebrated her 6th birthday a few days later. She got an American Girl doll from her grandma which she LOVES! Mikayla needed a little extra help in school so her teacher "Ms. Stone" suggested this free after-school program two days a week to help her out a little bit. She really has improved in the last couple months! She is so smart! Austin is crawling around like a mad man and celebrated his 1st birthday. A week or so later, his first tooth finally popped through! Now we close the year with a total of two (bottom front). He has already had 3 haircuts with his first one being at 10 months! He eats like his dad.... a lot!

I am still working at Wells and I started my photography business in April right after our family trip in March to Florida. It was great to all take a trip together even though the drive was long. One of many Gorman adventures to come. I finish the year off with business totalling at 1 Wedding, 1 engagement session, 2 family pictures, and just over a dozen Senior pictures. Pretty good for my first year!

Adam is still working at Mandinec and has been really busy lately snow plowing! We got about 2 feet of snow over Christmas. We just got him a newer vehicle (2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited). He is super excited about that. We are selling his truck to a co-worker of his for $400.

Mikayla was diagnosed with "over-active" bladder 7 weeks ago and has been on medication ever since. She is doing much better is staying dry and I am really proud of her for doing so well. Mikayla also joined Girl Scouts this year and I am her troop leader :) Leading Daisies is very fun and the girls are so forgiving when you are not "prepared". :) Mikayla is also in dance again this year and has added Jazz in addition to the Tap and Balet. She is still loving it! Adam can't wait for the "daddy dance" group to start forming as he loves doing that with her.

On December 2nd we found out we are expecting another bundle of joy. We conceived on November 16th (I know TMI). The baby will be due August 9th, 2010 (yes 8-9-10) :) I am happy tax return season is right around the corner because we could really use it! Adam's brother and SIL are also expecting in late July, as well as my cousin Liz and her hubby. My friend Jenny and Kris are also expecting. Lots of babies coming in 2010!

Well I think that summarized my 2009 and I hope everyone has a wonderful 2010! New Year's resolution....blog more.....lots more!
