<div style="text-align: left;">2010 was filled with many memorable events and milestones for our family.  This was the year that Caleb started kindergarten, got bit by a snake and lost his first tooth.  The year that Bella began preschool, got her first haircut and learned to love dresses.  The year that Drew hit the magical age of two, had tubes put in his ears and was officially potty trained.  This was the year that Kevin and I celebrated eight years of marriage and fell in love a little more each day than we were the day before.<br />
