A Year in Review-A Photo Montage

2010 was a good year....not very eventful as we didn't have any weddings or births and thank goodness no funerals! Although there wasn't any major events to reflect on we did have some interesting things take place throughout the year. Grant broke his little foot and Jason had his appendix removed in early Spring. Grant also learned to use the potty and replaced his crib with a toddler bed. We added four new little kiddos to our daycare family this fall and Grant has made them his new best friends. Uncle Jacob went away to Monmouth college and plays football for them. We have watched Grant grow immensely throughout the year-both physically and mentally. Like I have said many times before-I think he is 2 going on 22. He fills our lives with so much joy and laughter. We are truly blessed!

I don't know what 2011 will bring us but I just hope God blesses our entire family with peace, health, and happiness in the New Year.
