Since we last left you Part II



Seriously, I am a terrible blogger. I wish I would make the time to update daily. There is so much I would love to document for myself, Tommy & Thomas. And, so much to share w/ my long distant family. I am going to do my very best in 2010 to at least blog once a week. Here is a quick recap of Oct-Dec. Later I will post a separate blog all about Thomas' 1st bday w/ lots of photos and Christmas ' 09. Till then here is a recap of the end of our 2009. And, wow what a year. A year of many first and precious, priceless memories. The Lord blessed us tremendously this year. We are healthy, happy, and have a home. It has been a challenging year for me in many ways, yet the growth in my heart and spirit due to the challenges have been the best reward. Thank Lord, for your love and grace.



Tommy's Triathlon. Thomas' first chance to cheer Dad on at the finish line. Dallas Oct 09



Thomas' first trip to the State Fair of Texas. Hello Big Tex and Corney Dog. Team Hatfield Tradition. And, by the smile on Hi face, I think Thomas approves.


Halloween. The sweetest lion you will ever see. He loved to roaaaar! So, dang cute!



Enjoying the Sunshine @Dallas Arboretum on Halloween Day w/ the Stueve's. I LOVE this photo, w. dad's protective hand in the background, not far away.


What a treat. Thanksgiving Day at the Cowboy game w/ family and friends.




Thomas celebrating his 1st bday. I have plenty to post about this special day and lots of photos to come.



Christmas 2009. It feels like this year was Thomas' first Christmas, because last year was such a blur to me. I seriously think I was still on narcotics last year at Christmas, because I don't remember much. Man, sleep deprivation will steal your memory. But, this year. Oh, so much fun!!!



Thomas got to experience a White Christmas. What a special treat!! He did not like the cold snow. Just wanted to look and say "ohhhhhhhhh:!! But, hated to be cold and wet when I sat him down for a photo.


A pro at unwrapping gifts. And HE loves this book. His "KKKK". (Hard k sound.)

Santa brought his first basketball goal. He LOVES it.



First photo on Christmas morning! "What is going on?"



Dad had knee surgery 1 week before Christmas. Still a wonderful, blessed family!

New Years Eve. Friends, Yummy dinner, and an 8:30pm count down.

Thomas and Ryan (his best bud) playing on NYE

What a happy baby boy. Such joy.

Hope your 2009 was full of precious memories too. Here is to a healthy and happy 2010.
Blessings,
Team Hatfield
