Thomas turned 9 last week. He is a great kid, always willing to help, even-tempered (mostly), and a lot of fun. We had a fun birthday party with him last week.
Thomas and his best friend, Payton.
Payton gave Thomas a matching monster sweatshirt.

Thomas asked for pumpkin pie instead of cake.
I took Thomas skiing for his birthday. It was his first real skiing and he did great. He caught on quickly and was soon cruising down the hill making some good turns.
I got a Kindle for Christmas last year and my reading has increased significantly. I read 45 books in 2009 compared to 30 in 2008. Of those, 27 were Kindle books. I’m also still a big audio book fan, listening to 17 audio books this year. I’d like to shoot for a goal of 52 books in 2010, but realistically I think I’ll be more around 40. Last year was unique and I had an unusual amount of free-time and travel time to get a lot of reading in. But I still hope to take advantage of my time and enjoy some more great books in 2010. Any recommendations or must reads? Always looking for a good book.
I enjoyed most of the books I read in 2009, with just a few duds in there. Here’s my list with the highest rated first.
