Christmas 2009

Dear Friends & Family,

WOW!! This year has gone by sooo fast! We had many things happen in our family this year. It is still hard to believe that it has been one yeas since the passing of Casey's Great Uncle, (Cecil Guinn) & More Grandma (Carolyn Kessler). As much as we miss them both, it is comforting to know that we will see them again.

The 1s quarter of the year was especially life changing for me. Making the transition from working full time to being a stay at home mom was a HUGE adjustment. A year later, I still feel like it was the best decision for our family.

The 2nd quarter of the year flew by! We attended Kayleigh's baseball games & went on Emily's daycare field trips. We celebrated Emily graduating from Preschool & Kayleigh turning 10! Emily loves kindergarten & has learned sooo much, like learning to read. We still can't believe that Kayleigh has been apart of our lives for a decade.

The 3rd quarter of the year was a summer of fun & new found faith. Kayleigh accepted Christ & was baptized. We are so proud of her & continue to support her new Christian life. We also celebrated Emily's 5th birthday. She is looking more like a young lady everyday.
Up to this point we have said nothing about Nathalie. She is a good sport, being dragged to & from all of her big sisters things. Nathalie has enjoyed some special M&M (Mom & Munchkins) events.

The 4th & final quarter of this year!! We celebrated Nathalie's 3rd birthday. She enjoys preschool! Kayleigh & Emily are enjoying their 1st season of basketball. This has been a learning experience for all of us!
We continue to mourn the loss of a dear friend Nick Giglio! Our thoughts & prayers remain with Leigh (Nick's wife), Grace (daughter) & soon to arrive Caleb (son).

God has been so good to our family this year! We look forward to what the future holds! We are very thankful that you are apart of it! We pray that 2010 will bring the very best to you!

Blessings,
Casey & Amie Stone
