a perfect New Years Eve

We had a fun, non-stop Christmas week with the Turetzky's and the Avra's. Everyone left town a couple days ago, but we stayed home and had a nice New Years Eve with just the three of us. It was the perfect way to wrap up our break before we go back to work and school.

I can't let the new year start without sending a shout out to the highlights of 2010:

Walt Disney World, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas = best family vacation yet!

Lila learning to walk and sleep for 12 hours a night

Darren graduating from BYU + our last APX summer = the rewards of a hardworking husband

Adria going back to full-time student status + taking care of Darren & Lila = the confidence to do just about anything!

Darren's parents helping out with Lila while we work and go to school = the best in-laws/parents anyone could ask for

Darren's new photography hobby = awesome pics of Lila all year long

Goodbye 2010, welcome 2011! I am so excited for the New Year and hope all of you are too.

Here's a slideshow of some of the highlights and pics I haven't shared yet from 2010.

All the emotions

Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
