Happy New Year!

Here is our holiday letter from 2009:
Season’s greetings from the Archers!
2009 has been a great year for us. We have really enjoyed living in California and we have taken advantage of living in this state. We have visited Magic Mountain, Disneyland, California Adventure, Hearst Castle, Aquarium of the Pacific, The L.A. Zoo and The Santa Barbara Zoo, SeaWorld, The Getty, The Science Center, A NASCAR race and the L.A. County Fair to name a few. Not to mention, we frequented the beach almost every weekend this summer.

Scott and I both celebrated our 30th birthdays and our 5 year wedding anniversary. We had a nice vacation in Mexico to celebrate. Scott was promoted again within Farmers Insurance Group. We didn’t have to move this time as his new position is in California. He is now the Zone Agencies Manager for the Southwest Zone. I embarked on some new adventures this year. One year after giving birth to Harrison, I ran my first half marathon along Huntington Beach. I also graduated from National Bartending School obtaining my Mixology license. Now I just need to find a part-time job.
William is growing up so fast. He will be three in January. He has quite the personality. He is a “mamma’s boy.” He takes to Harrison very well telling him exactly what to do and what to like. He talks from the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep (and sometimes in his sleep). Harrison will be two in January. He is Mr. Independent. He had his first surgery this year. He had tubes put in his ears. He is now starting to talk. We are never going to get a word in edgewise soon J Both boys took swimming lessons this year. William is a fish whereas Harrison didn’t care for the pool water. The ocean, on the other hand, is something that they absolutely love. Miss Belle is still a hyper protective older sister to the boys. She also enjoys the beach.

We had a lot of family visitors this year and have enjoyed spending quality time with everyone. We still haven’t made a trip back home to Missouri to visit friends and family. Maybe in 2010? It has been a good year for us. We wish you and yours a blessed 2010!
Love,
The Archers
Scott, Jymme-Lyn, William, Harrison and Miss Belle
