2010 Resolution #3

On the first day of the new year, I decided that starting a blog would be one of my many new year resolutions. I always have good intentions of keeping one updated to keep family and friends up to date on what is going on in the lives of the Steelys, but up until now, just haven't made the time. Well I hope to stick to this one and update it every week or so to let you know what is going on in our lives.

Here is what is going on now....well right at this very moment I am laying on one couch while Jimmy is laying on the connecting couch asleep and Jenny is on the other couch asleep and Leith is in the recliner awake (I think) and Addi is on the ottoman fast asleep and has been since right after the ball dropped at midnight. The boys are going duck hunting in the morning (well actually an hour) so they decided after staying up so late for New Years that they might as well stay up and not sleep, so I told them I would stay up with them to keep them awake. Well as you can see...Jimmy didn't quite make it, but Leith is still going strong!

Now, here is what has been going on lately....Leith, me and Addison have been living with Jenny and Jimmy since June because we are currently in the process of building a house on our 10 acres that was given to us by my dad when we got married. We are so excited for it to be finished, but we are enjoying living with family and getting to spend QUALITY time together! Addison has her own room while Leith and I have a room upstairs that is crammed to the gills with our stuff! We have our stuff stored here and at my parents house and fixing to be at the in-laws house as well. We are hoping to be in our house by April or so (that is my goal at least) and once we are, we will have a big house warming party and everyone is invited!

Addison is such an amazing little girl and I know I am a little biased, but she really is one of the smartest little kids ever! She is the light of mine and her daddy's life and we are so blessed to have her. We enjoy spending time with her and watching her grow into a big girl. Her personality and sense of humor just crack us up and she is always got us laughing! She is so bright and cheerful and knows how to make us smile :) I can't believe she is already 3 1/2 already...these last few years have gone by so fast. She will start Pre-K next fall and I can't belive my baby will be going to school so soon! She is looking forward to going to school and already pretends that our car is a school bus and I am her teacher. Right now she stays with my mom everyday while Leith and I work and she loves spending time with her Grammy and Papa. Gram takes her to story time at the library at least once a week and she also takes Gymnastics every Tuesday morning. She had her first gymnastics program a couple of weeks ago and she did perfect! Her favorite thing to do are the un-even bars and might I say..she is very good at them too! We might have a little olympic gymnist on our hands!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my first of many blogs and I look forward to keeping in touch with you this next year. We are expecting BIG things to happen in our family and church and I am expecting BIG things to happen for you too! Please keep in touch and let us know how you and your family are doing. We love you all so much!!!!!!!!
