It just occurred to me that a whole decade has passed! So much in our little family has changed in the space of ten years... it's actually hard to believe. I wonder what I thought the next decade would bring when it turned 2000. I remember there being a lot of anxiety about the ACTUAL change from 1999 to 2000 - so much news focused on what might happen to the technological systems we'd all become so accustomed to counting on.
In the year 2000, we were a little family of FOUR. We had a 10 year old (Kara) in fifth grade and a 2 year old (Alex) in day care. Alex was working full time as a Law Clerk, was working on completing his second year of law school and was sworn in as one of the youngest Town Councilman of our town. I was transitioning from working part time at Trinity to building up my Pre-School in West Coxsackie. We were busy renovating our first home. Towards the end of the year 2000, we were so excited to find we were expecting a new baby in the summer!
In the year 2001, we welcomed our new baby girl, Megan Catherine..
In the year 2002, Alex graduated Law School, 
Megan celebrated her FIRST birthday,
...we bought our camper and took a two week camping trip, before Alex took (and passed) his bar exam on the first try!
and my little buddy Alex started KINDERGARTEN!
In the year 2004, we sold our first home,
and moved into an apartment while we started construction on our new house. 
Alex started his career as an Attorney in the law firm he had worked for since he was a teenager, and we began making plans to try to have another baby.
and Kara started her senior year of high school.
In 2008, I went to my high school reunion, Brookie started her first year of PRE-SCHOOL at Little Wonders.
