I purposely put a hold on updating this because…well….I wanted a break.  But its a new year now for sharing the excitement, risk, danger, peril, certainty and the uncertainty in the Sturgis family.

CHRISTMAS 2010

Ayden had a blast this Christmas.  From eating cookies and chocolate covered pretzel sticks to picking out our Christmas tree during the storm of the century, Ayden was livin it up.  Note to self – two-year olds need only one present.  His first present was a dump truck and he was so into the dump truck that he didn’t care about the other presents.  Things we wish we had known.  Would have saved us some money.

Ayden continues to grow each day and teach us something new about life everyday.  We are lovin it and trying our best to enjoy each day!

I will let the pics speak for themselves.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving/Christmas.  It has been another year in which we were able to pause and reflect on the blessings and joy that we find in the company that we keep both with our families and our loved ones.

So here is to you, here is to an event filled 2011.

For Your Eyes Only

Back in November I posted this asking if anyone has seen Jesus on a bike.  Well, many wanted to know who’s tattoo it was.  Now that my parents know I have one I’m ready to come out (I think).  This was Nikole’s birthday present for me.  For four years she listened to me talk about getting this and she finally got really tired of it.  Would this be considered a mid-life kind of thing?  Maybe later we can talk about the theological understanding of it….just for fun.

I have been biking a bit this winter and I have finally found the time to get out on the skinny boards.  I need a kick in the butt because the now “sold out” “closed” all waves “full” Birkie is right around the corner!  Game on….
