I'm a little late, with this but I still wanted to do a review of last year.
I'm posting one of my favorite pictures from each month, along with some things that happened in that month.
January
I'm posting one of my favorite pictures from each month, along with some things that happened in that month.
January
Nothing exciting happening in January. It was just winter in Michigan!
February
The Olympics happened last February. Oliver enjoyed watching them with the rest of us. Not much going on in our lives.
March
We could have handled a little boredom in March. Heather was in the hospital for a few days. They never did find our what caused her problem, but she's been fine since!This picture was taken as we were about to leave.
April
April means Spring is here, something I'm always ready for! My girls and I took a little trip and did some shopping at IKEA! I also got to meet Kayren of Everything's Coming up Daisies while we were there!May
I had a garage sale with my sisters and cleaned out a few things. We went to the Tulip Time Festival in Holland. My daughter Laura completed her first 10K!June
My sister Cheri and I went on a road trip! We went to Pennsylvania and met Cheryl of Cherdecor and her husband Alan. We enjoyed Amish country and the beauty of Pennsylvania.July
My sister Terri was camping at Lake Michigan. Heather and I spent a day with them.August
This picture was taken at Meijer gardens during the Chihuly exhibition. We also had other fun summer events - the country fair, a chicken BBQ. I also had an episode of cellulitis requiring me to keep my foot up for a few days. Both of my daughters had Lasix surgery and now have better than 20/20 vision!September
This picture was taken when we had extremely high winds, causing waves of 15 feet on Lake Michigan. Bob also finished a dresser for me, completing a bedroom suite. We had an antique car show at the Nursing Home and we went to Artprize in Grand Rapids.October
We had one of the best weather seasons in recent history this Fall. The colors were wonderful, with warm temps and sunshine to enjoy them. Andy came home for 1 1/2 weeks. We took time off from work and spent time together.November
November was a fun month! Bob got an honorable mention for his carvings from Wood Carving Magazine. I turned 50 and Andy made a surprise trip home for my birthday and Thanksgiving.December
This picture was taken of the first snowfall of the season. Bob also took part in a craft sale and sold lots of carvings. We had a wonderful Christmas and were blessed to have Andy come home for the third month in a row!That ends 2010. I'm reminded again of how God was with us, through the good times and the hard times. I'm also reminded that although most of my time seems to be spent working and keeping the house in order, the times most treasured are times spent with family.

Good recap and beautiful pictures!!!
Love your year. Love your pictures. Love your blog. I have a few blogging questions for you--the professional blogger. Did you want me to email you? :o)
Mari, your year was much quieter than mine. I'm glad 2010 is past and I don't often wish time away.
Love the pic of your trip to Amish Country. Have always wanted to visit Lancaster County. Though we aren't Amish, we do have it in our ancestry. That lifestyle is pretty much how I was brought up. Some days I would love to go back to it. Such a simpler way of living.
Blessings,
Mary
