John: Spent The winter learning how to snowboard with his older kids. Now he boards better than they. Spent spring coaching lots of soccer! Turned 40 this summer. Spent a weekend celebrating by playing board games with guy friends at a condo in the mountains, then came home to a surprise ice cream fest in honor of his big b-day. Went to Singapore and Sydney, in a one week whirlwind trip (no pictures, apparently). Spent ALL of the autumn on the road, and none of the winter (whew!). Currently gives each Wednesday night to a bunch of teenage boys (ours included) growing them into fine men through eagle scout projects, camp outs and a little mid-week basketball.
Favorite Date with Katie in 2010: Napa Valley. The whole weekend was spent like one long date. He did get a kiss (or a few of them...) before he had to drop me off at the door.
Katie: learned the meaning of the word "frenetic" when it was discovered that John would be traveling ALL of Autumn and we had children who had to be in multiple places at one time. Spent the spring and summer trying to train for a triathlon. Finished said triathlon (I have the scars to prove it!). Enjoyed planning for and executing large gathering at the Spruces (see above Ice Cream Fest). Spent a great deal of time in the car, driving children from one place to another. Enjoyed Napa so much-I hope he asks me out again! Visited NYC on the coattails of John's business trip.
Favorite Date with John in 2010: Frisbee Golf. Spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon learning how to get my disc right into the appropriate "hole". John planned it, I loved it.
Together we have had a very full year. Still calling the Spruces home, even though John has come up on the two years in the same career mark. Maybe this is home for good, after all?
Happy end to 2010. It has been a good one for the Grahams.
