See ya 2009...a year in review.

Happily we say so long to 2009 in anticipation for a bright 2010.

This year has, shall we say, been very trying at times but we look at it all as life lessons that will only make us stronger.

I promised to post our photo shoot pics from the Fall. Well, finally here are a few. As well as a brief recap.

This couple (looking oh so in Love in this snap) have shared 13 years together as of this December. Still loving to laugh with each other and always trying to find humor in even the worst situations has been a life saver for us. Although our fights can be epic we still manage to get over them in record time...always with a snicker and a laugh. It's just our way. Eachothers Cheerleaders, Champions, Best Friends and still amazed at the little Family we have created together, we know we are not only lucky but blessed to have found eachother.

Little Red is just as spunky as ever but the biggest home girl around. She loves being home with the fam the most. Still very in to her artistic endeavors, forever drawing, always being silly and trying to make everyone laugh, Tall as you can imagine and still begs for a Cat weekly. (sorry kid, no chance). The first two teeth lost this year and showing more and more signs every day that she is a full fledged big girl.

This little peanut is my tiny, little tenacious wonder. A climbing, getting into everything, wiggling ball of sweetness. Putting clothes on her is still like roping a calf. She is amazingly strong in every way. Strong Willed is an under statement. Always that kind smile though to keep her out of too much trouble. She talks up a storm (although Mommy is still the best translator). Our little Doll.

So, as we look towards the future......

(Do you like how we seem to be gazing into the future?)

We are grateful for the blessings bestowed upon us.

Healthy Girls, Happy Family, Loving Grandparents and Extended Family, Great Friends, A roof over our heads and food on the table, and optimism for a brighter 2010.

Love, Luck, Health, Happiness, Prosperity and Wishes of a Bright Year ahead for all of you too.
