Highlights of 2009

Since my last post was in JULY, I am not even going to attempt to catch up with everything since then. So, I have decided to do a 2009 highlights list and then start fresh from now. Here are the Butler Family highlights of 2009 (in no particular order):

1. My nephew Brady was born on October 22. He is David's first baby, and is chubby little lump of sweetness!

2. We bought an RV, and broke it in by traveling to Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and Pigeon Forge, TN. We did several local trips as well. The kids love that they have bunk beds. TJ and I love that we don't have to set up anymore. No more cranking and leveling for us!!

3. Julienne graduated from preschool and began Kindergarten. Hooray for not having to pay for daycare!!

4. TJ and his drivers drove 443 students last year! The business is doing really well. In fact, he made an appearance on the news recently to talk about driving in inclement weather!

5. Tre played flag football for the first time and loved it.

6. We decided to remodel our bathroom, Julienne's old bedroom, and create a new room for her. It was quite a project, but it turned out just lovely. Our new closet is huge! I am really proud of the work that TJ did. he has turned out to be quite a handyman!

7. We got a cat and named him Brady, before we knew that David and Andrea were definitely naming the baby Brady. So now we have cat Brady and a baby Brady. I guess you can never have too much Brady!!! ;-)

I know that there are many more highlights I am missing, but for lack of immediate memory, I guess my list will end with 7 highlights for now. Hopefully, I can keep up-to-date with my posting, and not wait another 7 months for the next post!
