The Swan Family’s ABCs of 2010
A Adelia Mae Swan, born August 3rd 2010. She weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. and was 20 in. long.
B Blog posts are frequent. Krystal posts them on AKSwanFamily.blogspot.com.
C Cardboard and all the things Aaron has built with it to entertain our boys.
D Dirty Dash website Developed by Aaron—Krystal and Lincoln participated in the race. And Dozens of Diapers changed Daily.
E Eating healthier has been one of our goals this year. Our favorites are cracked wheat for breakfast and green shakes for lunch, and we’ve been eating more vegetables for dinner.
F Family History teaching assignment for Krystal at church, and a goal to have Family Home Evening every week.
G Graduate School is keeping Aaron busy. He also teaches Gospel Doctrine at church.
H Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (aka the plague) contracted by our kids in April wasn’t any fun. But Halloween was memorable—we went as pirates, with our own pirate ship.
I Ivan has been growing up fast this year, talking nonstop, saying prayers, making animal noises, going to nursery, and riding his tricycle. Since we discovered his milk allergy, he’s been sleeping great at night. Ivan will turn two this March.
J Job hunting…a long stressful process. The unknown is a killer.
K Krystal organizes play groups, teaches preschool with a group, attends story time, learns about homeschooling, does crafts with the kids, blogs, sews, and reads.
L Lincoln learned to ride a big bike, all his letters and sounds, and how to use the potty this year. He loves playing outside, water, preschool and story time, and his friends. He turned three in August.
M Marshmallows are our bribing tool. The kids will do almost anything to get one. And on Memorial Day we had a family barbeque and water fight.
N
O When you combine N and O, you get the word most often used in our house
P Preschool and Play Group are our two favorite activities every week.
Q Quitting the apartment management job we’ve been doing for the last year so that Aaron can begin an internship with a company called imSAR in Spanish Fork.
R Roommates—Lincoln and Ivan started sharing a room this year and are doing well.
S Summer—Seven Peaks, sprinklers, sandboxes, swelling (Krystal, because of pregnancy), slides, sunshine, and swimming. We love summer!
T Thesis—Aaron is still working on it. He hopes to complete it and graduate in April.
U Utah, been here 2 years now, and with Aaron’s internship we’ll be here a bit longer.
V Valentine’s Day dinner at Good Wood BBQ, thanks to Kelly for watching our kids.
W Washington trip in June—homeschool conference, websites, parks, Debbie’s birthday.
X eXams will be done forever in December. Aaron finishes his course work this semester.
Y The Y—Some things we’ve done on campus this year: Bean Museum, Halloween party, Eyring Science Center, Sunday walks, information sessions, and free pizza.
Z Zzzzs— not getting much sleep.
Merry Christmas! Love, the Swans
Aaron, Krystal, Lincoln, Ivan, Adelia

Very very cute! I love the picture of just the kids. Getting children your boys age to hold an infant is like getting a dog to let you ride on it's back. They want nothing to do with it... I have many pictures of kids just like that, where the baby needs propping up and the other kids ignore it :-) Ha ha
