Happy New Year! 2010

We welcomed the new year with our neighbors. Connor, Abby, Thomas, Grace and Kaelyn took a moment from the Wii to get a pic! We hope 2010 has great things in store....

Getting ready for Halloween

Here at the Goetsch house... we LOVE Halloween! Andreas got the decorations out of storage yesterday and he decorated the front yard. All the pumkins are from our garden, we grew them this summer! A few more days till trick or treat!

New Addition

Ashley and Watt welcomed their son Brayden Michael in the early morning hours of October 2nd. Here is a pic of a tired mom, Ashley and baby, Brayden. Grandpa Andreas and Grandma Donna (Ashley's parents).

Little peanut with Aunt Grace.

He really likes to suck on that bottom lip!

Proud papa! Watt got to come home from Iraq for 2 weeks for the birth of his son. He returned to war on the 11th of October and we pray for his safe return in the next year!

Back to School

Abby and Grace started school today. Abby is in 5th grade and Grace is in 3rd. They were super excited to go back to school and I was super excited for them to go back! Only 9 1/2 months till summer vacation!

Girl Scout camp

Troop 504... or most of them anyway, after we dropped them off at Camp St. Albans. Ready for a great time!

Who is this big girl and what did she do with my little Abby?
