What a wonderful year 2009 has been. Who knew that it was possible for life to just keep getting better.
As you all know, Jadeyn, our little boy, joined the family in April ‘08, so this is our first full year with our little munchkin. He has definitely been the highlight of our year. His little creative mind keeps him into all sorts of fun trouble and he entertains us constantly. He hasn’t stopped us from doing any of the things that we love, in fact he has only increased them.
We camped & fished as much as possible this summer. We discovered that Jadeyn loves the outdoors just like we do, he relishes getting dirty & he LOVES to fish. In fact, one of his first words was fish, right after learning to say ball of course! We explored so many new campgrounds and have loved our new “family tent” which kept us cozy even above 10,000 feet. A summer full of fish, pine needles and fun. Rebecca caught a whopper of a Brook trout in a high mountain lake, which kinda put Kevin to shame, but wow!
W
e went on several amazing trips this year. We went to Florida’s three National Parks to continue our goal of seeing all of the National Parks in the US. What an marvelous trip! The Everglades were just as breathtaking & mysterious as we expected. Exotic birds & allusive alligators, & the noise of the swamps was amazing.
Biscayne & Dry Tortugas came with some incredible boat rides complete with dolphins & manatees. We’ve stood by our rule that whenever we find a dirt road at a national park: take it. You will never be disappointed! Then of course, we had to stop off at Key West and South Beach!
Hershey’s Park, PA was another fun highlight of our year. We couldn’t go through a whole year without visiting an Amusement Park could we? We flew to Pennsylvania with two of Kevin’s sister’s: Jessica & Stephanie and family, & had such a great time with them. Who knew & entire amusement park could smell like chocolate?
We stayed in Hershey Lodge where when you walk in the door, you just have to smile sweetly & you are given a full sized Hershey bar!! Rides, shows, roller coasters, chocolate & more chocolate!!
Life in the working world has been going very well. Kevin’s optometry practice is doing great. The office remodel is finished and is beautiful. His practice has continued to grow & thrive through the tough economy & he enjoys helping his patients everyday. Anyone need an eye exam: stop on by! Rebecca continues to enjoy working part time for a plastic surgeon/ENT & being able to spend the rest of the time with Jadeyn. Two days at work a week is perfect!
We truly have been blessed with a wonderful year. We hope that all is well with all our friends and family!
This year was great & we enjoy every moment that life gives us.
Merry Christmas!
Kevin Rebecca Jadeyn Dozer & Newt
