Nick & I would have to say the best part of 2009 was Kaleb.
6/20/2009 Here is a picture taken back in June.
Nick & I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on December 18th. Like I said before we are so blessed to have Kaleb now. Nick's mom came over to watch Kaleb while Nick took me out. We headed to Slidell and walked around Old Town, which is a really neat area if you have never been.

Saturday's are pretty much booked for Nick till February. Kaleb heard me talking to my mom and heard they were at the track and he wanted to go.

We had a great time at the Fogarty Christmas Party. Susan was sooo excited for us that I think she told me about the party in August.

We celebrated Christmas with Will on Monday before Christmas because he would be gone for Christmas.
12/21/2009 Christmas with Will
It was a great Christmas and Kaleb said, "this was my best Christmas ever". We were so glad to have a son for Christmas. Last year we thought we would never have one at the rate the government works. This new year entails a lot of changes for us. We are excited about them.
12/25/2009 First Christmas with Kaleb
Great News: Found out December 28th after waiting for 2 months that the court date is set for February 24th to terminate parents rights. We are so thrilled. Then we can start the adoption process. I would tell you how that works, but I get different stories and of course we are talking about the government once again.
Over the holidays Kaleb was able to hang out with his brother a good bit and that was fun. Kaleb really likes his brother, but Kaleb sure does like to boss him around and nag the mess out of him. His brother is so nice and patient with him. I'd post a picture, but he's not mine to post.
Kaleb was able to meet all my family. My mom is 1 of 5 and my dad is 1 of 11, so I have rather large family. Nick on the other hand has parents that are both only children. Nick still hasn't figure out everyone which I totally understand.

Well, wow with those pics one can see he definitely fits in the family.
I have really been working on him saying yes mam and no mam. The other night at a Christmas party I asked him something and he did not respond correctly so i said, "excuse me" and he just said, "yes mam" and my cousin responded with "I like that, i really like that" and I said "that's not always his response, but he's learning". It was really cute.
