After seeing so many of my friends' family blogs, I decided I should start one for my own family. Gone are the days of writing individuals letters, or even emails, to share news with loved ones. I will try to update this blog frequently...it will be easier now that I'm a stay-at-home-mom!
2009 was a pretty busy year for our family. Tiernan turned one, Steve recieved his MBA, and I completed my student teaching and recieved my BA in Elementary Education.
With the completion of my degree, I am finally, 100% a stay-at-home-mom (or SAHM). Tiernan and I have fun playing, but the terrible two's are already showing their ugly faces. To combat tantrums I try to keep Tiernan busy. On Tuesdays we go to an art class, which Tiernan dislikes...I'm not a big fan of it either. On Fridays we go to a movement class where Tiernan can run around and go crazy...we both LOVE this class! The instructor is great, encouraging parents to sit back and let their kids explore. Once a month Tiernan learns about farm animals at the Phoenix Zoo....this month he got to feed the cows! Plus, we go to visit GG Rachel as much as we can.
As some of you already know, most of you don't, Steve and I are trying to expand our family. We got pregnant last fall, but unfortunately, it was a tubal pregnancy. My doctor has encouraged us to wait until April or May to try again, but after much prayer we've decided to try again in March. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday...so maybe we'll celebrate the holiday, the anniversary of our engagement, and the birth of a new baby all at once this year! We are very hopeful that my body has had enough time to heal and is ready for another baby. Please keep my health and our family in your prayers.
2010 promises to be a great year. We are starting the year off by taking GG Rachel to Disneyland to celebrate her birthday in March! This will be Tiernan's third visit to Disneyland...he loves it there! I'm sure the rest of the year will hold many more adventures.
Peace and Love to you all,
Alyssa
