Oh What A Year!

What a year 2008 was for us! We had many experiences...some new....some we have had before...and some we wish we hadn't had. But for all....we are very grateful!

Shelley--When I looked at your blog I had to keep reading and reading--your family is beautiful and I hope all is going well. I have to admit--I was very hungry after looking at all the great food and it brought back memories of our "fun" gourmet cooking class at MCC. I can't believe that was so long ago. Are we really old enough to be married TWENTY YEARS?!
Ours is coming up in February.
Life is full of challenges and it seems like we go through a lot--but I also realize how much we are blessed and I feel lucky! Keep in touch--LaNae

I am LOVING the photos...you must have gotten a new camera or something.

You need to post your beautiful photography more often...or whoever's photography it is.

And, I am so happy you summarized your year with photos....so much easier on the eyes than reading five pages.
