With the new year right around the corner, I'm doing something that I've done on my blog the last few years. I would love to have you join me!
Post the first sentence of your first blog post of every month, and then add your favorite picture from each month. It's fun to look back!

JANUARY
"We have a New Years Eve tradition"
We received record amounts of snow here in January. Andy was in South Korea and got very little, but he sent us this picture to show that he was having fun in the snow too.

FEBRUARY
"February is the month that we seem to hear a lot about love."
The trees always look beautiful with snow covering their branches.

My sister Cheri and I went to Tulip Time in Holland Michigan and stopped to see this authentic, working Windmill.
