2009, here we come!






















It truly has been a wonderful, adventure filled year for the Kansas Sawayas! We started the year out as Arizona Sawayas. As of May, we were officially Kansas residents. We have loved our time here. We hit the ground running, determined to make the most of this adventure.






Ben enjoys work in Olathe as a finance director for Honeywell.






Sara enjoys each day and takes each day one at a time!






Scott enjoys school, soccer and two new passions; basketball and piano.






Kate enjoys everything pink and being a "mother" to ladybugs and toads alike.






Brett enjoys bouncing out of bed each morning, tackling the day, and dropping into bed each night, falling asleep within minutes.






We enjoy our life, take joy in the journey and look forward to another adventure filled year! Here we come 2009!!

Hello Sawayas! Thanks for the Christmas Card. It is great to keep updated, at least yearly. We are surprised to hear that you have moved...what a fun adventure! We look forward to reading your blog and getting a glimpse into your days.

Glad to hear all is well. Your family is absolutely beautiful!
Love, TJ and Katie Zaharis

Sara Sawaya -- we lost touch. I had no idea you moved to Kansas. So glad I stumbled across your blog. Your kids are so big. I can't believe Scott is in 2nd grade. Even though Spencer is now a Jr. in HS. Time flies. I have such fond memories of Arizona and the turtles. Say hi to your hubby!! -- Jenny Young

What a cute family you have!! I am glad you love Kansas, do your parents visit much? They really have to travel a lot to see all of you it seems. You are all over the country!! Is debra still in the South? It is funny how quickly time passes. I wish you all the best.
