Barger Family Newsletter 2010

Casey- Has one semester left of school (yay!), but then he has to start job hunting (blech!).  Hopefully he finds something awesome nearby so we don't have to leave, but we'll see.  He has done so well in his classes and we are all proud of him. He's also working part-time and fishing every free minute he gets, even in frigid weather and snowstorms.

Cami- In her fourth year of teaching 7th grade Life Science and still enjoying it.  She also loves having every night, weekend, and holiday off to spend with the family.  This year she started sewing again and made a blessing dress for Breyan and Jesse's monkey costume for Halloween. She is now all sewed out until the summer.  Life is a little hectic and busy, but always worth it!

Jesse- Knows all of the letters of the alphabet, capital and lowercase, and the sounds each one makes.  We're thinking he'll be reading soon! He also knows colors, a few shapes, and is learning to count. He impresses his parents each day. He turned 2 on 12/18 and got a magna-doodle, which he takes everywhere and forces Mom and Dad to write letters on repeatedly. He loves watching movies, coloring, reading, finding letters, running and jumping on furniture, and playing in the snow. And of course he still loves his baby sister, and likes to hold, hug, and kiss her.  But he also likes to stick his fingers in her mouth, take her pacifier away, and try to kick her. A typical brother! He keeps the parents on their toes constantly!

Breyan- Finally sleeping through the night, thanks to an 8 ounce bottle before bed! She loves bouncing around in the exersaucer and watches everything.  Her favorite person to observe is her big brother.  She smiles easily and laughs when she's tickled. Breyan has a very sweet disposition that makes her a perfect fit into our family. She already likes to talk, shop and look at herself in the mirror. We're excited to see more personality emerging as she grows up!

Hope everything is well with all of you and here's to a fabulous 2011! We are very blessed and look forward to another good year!

-The Bargers (Casey, Cami, Jesse, Breyan)

Wow, I can't believe you've been teaching for 4 years already! I keep thinking you've only been teaching for only a year.
Yay for Casey only having one semester left! Good luck with the job hunting! I know its irksome to do it, but I loved dreaming of all the possibilities that it could bring.
