2008 in Review

It’s the end of the old year, and start of the new,

So now here is two thousand eight in review.

We started off two thousand eight in Salt Lake,

With one in the oven, and I don’t mean a cake,

On March twenty fifth, Eyan Jones came around

Length: twenty inches, weight: nine ounces, six pounds.

Having two kids kept mom and dad stressing,

And at two weeks old, we gave Eyan a blessing

After having the baby, we moved to the east coast,

But with just a few weeks in between it was close.

We packed up our things in our poor little car,

Two thousand miles, with two kids is too far,

But the bonus of driving cross country we get,

Is to stop off to see Alan, Jake and Lynette.

After such a long drive, our new beds felt so soft,

And dad’s hair got too long, so mom shaved it all off.

Not on purpose of course, we didn’t want it all gone,

But the guard on the hair clippers wasn’t left on.

After being in Somerset just twenty two days,

There were too many people in dad’s office to stay.

So mom packed up our things in just one afternoon,

And we moved up to Clifton and to our new rooms.

In July mom got homesick, and again we did pack,

We left dad in New Jersey, and never came back.

On the flight back to Idaho mommy was fretting,

But we had to get home to see Robert’s wedding.

In August: Montana, for Jones family fun,

And being there brought more surprises than one.

Dad’s family had pitched in to buy a plane ticket,

And dad came to see us for a quick two day visit.

Dad went back to New Jersey, to work while he could,

Then he’d drive back in three weeks to stay home for good.

When he got back we stayed with Katrina and Mike,

While dad found a job doing something he likes.

Dad got a job selling radio spots,

And Eyan got two teeth, he uses a lot,

Next, Cahlin’s Birthday, he now would be three,

And mom made a Spiderman cake you can see.

In November we moved, it’s enough to cause tears,

That we’ve lived in ten houses, in just these four years.

We’ve loved having family so close together,

And having the chance see them whenever.

Like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Thanksmas and New Years,

And we’d like to say this to everyone who hears:

We hope that this last year was one full of cheer,

And wish all of you a happy new year!
