2011 has been a busy year.
We started the year in Murray, KY. We never thought we would end the year back in Nebraska! But here we are...and even though we miss our friends in Murray, we are so happy to be close to family and friends in Nebraska. We have been able to see uncle Mike Gesell play basketball, Ryan gets to play with cousin Addison and uncle Mike Wiltse has been able to stay at our house a few times when he is working near Lincoln. The grandparents love getting to see Ryan (and us:) more often. Grandma Lou has been down to visit many times and now that it is basketball season we are seeing Grandma Vicki and Papa Tom almost every weekend!
Tim has been very busy with work. He started his new job on May 24, 2011. He really enjoys working at Lincoln Industries. It is a great company!
Work keeps him busy but he still finds time to play basketball! He plays on a "Y" league, a Lincoln City league and a 3 on 3 league. So far he has been on the championship winning team in 2 leagues (he is very proud of this:).
We are thankful he has a job that he loves and that allows me to stay at home with Ryan!
Since moving to Lincoln Ryan and I have been very busy!
We moved into our house in August. So we have been organizing and cleaning...re-organizing and cleaning again.
Ryan loves Story Time at the Library which we attend a couple of times a week. We have a YMCA membership (which is across the street from the library) so I try to make myself workout a few times a week. Ryan loves going to the nursery and playing with the other kids so that helps motivate me.
Ryan also loves his Kindermusik class which we attend on Friday mornings.
Recently I started attending a women's bible study group and a MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group. Childcare is provided for both so it's another opportunity for Ryan to play with other kids his age.
Starting in January Ryan will be taking a "float for life" swimming class at the YMCA. In March, we will take "Toddler Team Up" classes at the Lincoln Children's museum. Tim's work will pay for all but $50 for a year membership to the Lincoln Children's Zoo and the Children's museum so we will remain busy!
I have been able to continue teaching Body Pump. I let the church we attend know I was available to volunteer (with things that could be done with a toddler/ at home) so they have been giving me odd jobs to do mostly at home.
We are thankful for all of God's blessings in 2011 and look forward to all that He will bring in 2012.
As 2012 approaches I remember...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Merry Christmas!
