We ended 2009 by packing up our third (and hopefully last) Uhaul in less than 18 monthsHere's what made our 2010 full of LIFE, LAUGHTER, and LOVE:  celebrating Aiden's ONE YEAR OF HEARING and SECOND BIRTHDAY all within a week.  grandma!  meeting other CI/hearing loss families in our local community for picnics and play dates. starting high school, first formals, and girlfriends we adore. many trips to the zoo, finding a hearing team for Aiden,who fulfills what we've been in search of. new family members,Austin Robert (my brother's first child) blessed our world on 6/9/10 16 years of marriage ... I'm so proud of US! continuous exploration and discovery of new sounds,despite a year of mapping ups and downs. smores, cocktails, and story telling around the fires in our backyard firepit, right up until the wind was just too much to handle and snow nearly covered it. COUSINS!Having 16 cousins so close to grow up with,and participating in so much more than we ever have before. I LOVE my husband's family and all they are to us. LOVE their relationship and all theirs. a trip to Walt Disney World Aiden's "monkey-like" qualities of getting into EVERY.little.THING.
