The Barrons' in a Year

My friend gave me the great idea of writing our family newsletter on our blog rather than sending one out in every Christmas card, and so I thought I would start something new. Well, actually writing a newsletter is new altogether for me, so I'll give it a shot. 

This has been an eventful year in our house. In February of 2008 we finished building our first house. Building a house was exciting and scary, but well worth it! In the same month Megan received her teaching certificate from BYU, and most exciting of all Brynn was born. So far all of our girls have been born on holidays, and Brynn was no exception. She was our leap day baby!

Abbi started both soccer and kindergarten this year, and she loves them both! She reads to Reese and Brynn constantly, and her writing improves everyday. She discovered that she loves soccer, and that she is quite good. Reese is a fully energetic, and very independent little 3 year old. She is in a do it myself phase, and our help is only wanted at her request. Brynn  changes daily, but that is to be expected from a 10 month old. She crawls, sits herself up, pulls herself up, babbles, and is even learning to throw fits. A house full of girls can be a handful, but it is so much fun!

Megan has discovered a passion for kickboxing. Being done with school has offered her much more time for both her kids and herself, and there are many talents she hopes to expand and explore. Andy is working for Verizon where he has been for the past two years. However, this summer he and a friend decided to start a clothing business together, and they have been working since to get the business up and running. The business is called Policy clothing, and they just received their first large shipment of shirts. Andy is so excited for this new opportunity, and we hope this is something that will grow, and stay in our lives for a long time to come.

So this is us, and here we are. The end of the year has come. We are looking forward to another year of unknowns, and we will try to live each day better than the day before. Until next year have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

                       With Love,
                            Andy, Megan, Abbi, Reese, and Brynn
