best of 2009

2009
has been a really great year.


Family

As a family, 
we feel so blessed.
We've had some
wonderful additions...

A new
grandchild --
our first!

And a new
daughter-in-law!

Humanitarian Trips

We went on
two amazing humanitarian trips
to Central America....

Blogging

In 2009,
I started blogging --
first with my
family history blog,
"Uphill Both Ways:
Tales from the Big Black Book
and other Family Lore,"
and now with
"A Year of Happy." 

.




Uphill Both Ways
has been on
an extended hiatus,
but will be back
in 2010.

A Year of Happy
will hopefully
continue with daily posts
through September 2010.
