It's time to say good-bye to 2009! I thought I'd go through some of favorite memories & photos of this past year by month.
January 2009
One of my favorites of the entire year - the Designer Digitals Creative Team's trip to Disney World. It was truly magical.
Ah - dealing with puppyhood had pretty much taken over my life by February. The minute I turned my back, the crazy puppy was into something he shouldn't be!
And our 1st broken bone as a parent when Emily broke her wrist ice skating! She had to miss her first overnight class trip and she and I stayed home and completely re-did her bedroom into a '60s dream room.
March was a rough month. Elizabeth had a seizure at school (her first in front of her classmates) and we spent much of this month dealing with med changes and neurologist appointments.
My baby turned 6. :( This photo of him at his football birthday party with his cousins and his daddy is one of my favorites of all time!
And I had a great little getaway to Michigan with Sharyn and Ashley!
Our 1st veggie garden!
And we completely re-did every single bit of landscaping in our yard. And it was actually fun!
I started quilting!!! Totally obsessive new craft for me. :)
Tom and I started training the crazy puppy.
And Tom warned the kids that he might go outside in an embarrassing outfit if they didn't stop bugging him one day. They didn't stop bugging him so this is what he came up with!
My Dad came to visit and drove his Batmobile. ;)
The crazy puppy got broken. :(
And our annual vacation in Maine was virtually rained out. One of the worst trips we've ever had.
The kids and I spent a ton of time at the beach!
And school started again. This time, my baby started 1st grade and left Mommy home alone.
September 2009
Libby started riding lessons.
Emily started doing laundry. And the angels sang!
I traveled down to Indy for a small DD meeting. Loved every single minute of it!
We happened upon a renovated farmhouse in Southern Michigan and fell in love! Decided to fix up our house and move. Little did we know that we had months worth of work ahead of us.
And Cathy Zielske joined Designer Digitals. Love working with her and her products!!!
Renovations, renovations, renovations. Ugh, Ugh, Ugh.
The crazy puppy is finally better!!!
And lots of December layouts done, along with more renovating and lots of holiday shopping!
Happy New Year!!!
