The end of the year

Well, it's almost 2007, can you believe it? A lot has happened this year, so I'll highlight a few things. All my kids celebrated another birthday and grew even bigger and in September they all were in school full time. Marvin and I celebrated 11 years of marriage and I am more in love with him than ever before. We spent another year without Marvin's parents and we miss them being in our lives and them seeing their grandchildren grow up. We said good-bye to Ken and Robin and the children as they moved to Tennessee to start a new life down south and we celebrated with Ken as he graduated with a degree in education. We are so proud!! It has been a healthy year for us and especially me as I have lost 41 pounds and still am trying to lose more. That has been awesome because I have more energy and can do a lot more activity with the kids.
We have had some sad times as well. In December, my cousin Kim died tragically at the age of 31. It was a sad time for her family as it happened so close to Christmas. Matthew's hamster also died tragically at the hands, or should I say mouth of our dog, Buster. He is now laid to rest in the backyard. (The hamster, not Buster).
I think that is all, I probably forgot important things but it is 12 am and I'm getting tired. So, I will go for now but will post my 2007 resolutions another day.
