2009 Recap

One of the best parts of 2009 was watching my little girl grow from a one year old to an almost 2 year old. I'm joining in with Jo-Lynn over at Musing of a Housewife to recap some of the highlights of our 2009.

January
Playin' in the snow
It was fun to enjoy some winter snow with Hannah. So many first time experiences in that first year of life



February

Hannah started standing on her own
A weekend with my friend Luke
I don't get to see my dear friend Teri very often, so every visit is very special. We enjoyed a visit from her and her son. Hannah and Luke had a ball playing together!

March
Hannah's first birthday

It's so crazy to look back at these pictures and see how much she has grown in a years time. Hannah had a great first birthday where she was surrounded by wonderful family and friends.

April
Up...Down..and all around
Hannah finally starts walking this month...just in time for her Uncles wedding in May. What an exciting time!

May
Uncle Adam and Aunt Jills wedding day
Adam and Jills wedding was definitely the highlight of May. It was so sweet to see Hannah get to be a part of their special day.

June
Lake Ann Camp
We really enjoy taking our teenagers up to Lake Ann every summer...it was fun to stay the week with Hannah this year.
A Hot Day at Shaiwassee Park
another highlight of our summers was going to the park every Tuesday with our friends from MOPS.

July
My first 100 words
By July Hannah was saying over 100 words!
Kids Kamp
wow...summer is always very busy and eventful. We always have a great time running Kids Kamp at the church! I love listening to the kids sing "One Way". Hannah still perks up when we sing this song to her.

August
Gatlinburg Vacation
this was just day 2 of our vacation. We had a great time seeing the beauty of God's creation together. This was our first family trip!

September
Happy 40th Anniversary Skyview
Skyview Ranch holds a very special place in our hearts. It was great to go back to visit over Labor Day weekend. We enjoyed spending time with old friends and getting caught up to speed on some of what the Lord is doing there at the Ranch
God takes Care of Me
This was the scariest day of my life. God took care of my little girl..thats for sure!

October
My God is so BIG
Hannah learned the motion and loves to sing this song!
My first Trick-Or-Treat

November
Welcome to the World Sweet Ethan Edward
Cousin Ethan comes into the world
A week long visit with Ethan
We stayed with my sister for a week just after Ethan was born. It was the most amount of time that I've had with her since we moved...so it was very sweet sisterly time. It was neat to see her become a mother, she is just a natural!

December
Hannah sings Away in A Manger
It was so neat to celebrate the real meaning of the season with Hannah.
