Well, this is the day we say goodbye to a year and enter into a new decade. It's crazy to think what has happened this year let alone the last 10 years!
Let's see if I can recap both for you all. :)
2009
We are pregnant with our third child and we bought a house in Feb. I close my "daycare" and we move in to our beautiful home. Hannah turns 4 and finishes her year of preschool. We start our new ward at church which changes after 2 months to another whole new ward by boundary changes. We give birth to a baby boy we finally named Asher. He was late in coming by a week. Josh's mom comes to visit us for the first time in 2 years. Hannah takes a nose dive in her weight so we try to start tube feeding her again. She starts a new year in preschool and gets sick constantly. Maizer starts to talk alot better and interacts with Hannah more. Josh's sister Mia comes up to visit and meets the kids for the first time. We go on vacation to Oregon and see the zoo, Portland, stay in a yurt for a night, see the falls and fish hatchery. Can't forget IKEA!!! We get back to find out Hannah is in dire need of body fat. We were threatened with CPS regarding Hannah's present starvation state. ???? Don't ask. Very long story that makes Josh and me hostile. Josh and I decided to take matters into our own hands and now we feed Hannah 3 times a day through her tube and she has gained 3 1/2 pounds!!! The baby is about to crawl and is eating baby food, Maizer turned 3, my sister Katie moved up and is living with us, we pulled Hannah out of preschool and keep her out of church except Sacrament to keep her healthy for now. I am down 37 pounds since giving birth. And last but not least, we had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy our new ward. Whew! I am sure I am missing something in there.
As for the last decade, I have changed more than I can say. I have grown as a woman and a mother. I have struggled, lost, and fought for a better life. I have earned, learned, and blossomed. I have reached goals and gained potential. I have lifted up and fallen down. This all sounds so cliché, but it's true and if I looked into the eyes of my 10 year younger self I would be pleased. That is all that matters isn't it? And if this is what I have accomplished in 10 years, I can't believe what the next 10 may hold for me. I should write a book! LOL
Take care my dear family and friends. I truly wish the happiest of years this next decade for you all.
Love,
Chloé

Happy Birthday Maizer! The big 3!!
My boy turned three years old and I just can't believe it! I love this little guy so much. Things that make Maizer, Maizer:
1. He is the fair child in the bunch with beautiful blue eyes.
2. He is a boy with a funny sense of humor. He says "Trick or feet". :)
3. He is a loving boy with a quiet sensibility. He likes to sit next to you and
say nothing but just cuddle.
4. He loves books!
5. He is excellent at putting puzzles together without ever seeing how they are
supposed to look as a finished product.
6. He loves to build things.
7. He lays all of his toys be it markers, books, shovels, cars etc. in intricate
patterns on the floor.
8. He LOVES chocolate milk.
9. He loves his hats, loves to dance, loves to be a superhero, and loves to play.
10. He has touched our family in wonderful ways and we could never do without him.

Christmas in the Kirby Home
We finished decorating the house - well the inside anyway. :) Here are some photos.
I also am including some adorable pictures of my little sis Katie and Asher who will be 6 months old in 3 days!! Yikes. I have a few cute photos of Maizer and Asher with Katie but I can't get them to download. Poopy. I'll figure it out though. In the meantime - Enjoy my chubby faced babe. :)
Sweet Aunt Katie and little nephew. Katie can put Asher to sleep anytime by holding him. What a great Auntie. :)
