2008

Inspired by my sister who is 17 hours ahead of me in Australia -
she posted a recap of the year. So here is my version...

The first snowfall of 2008 - this was what I found when I went in to say good morning! They were watching daddy get out of the driveway, and no school!!


Welcome our final member! Lots of tribulation around her, from mom's adjustment to a tough pregnancy and questions about her health both before and after birth -

Welcome our tiniest member - Little Amanda! We are glad she is here!



Summer time is GREAT! We spent much of the year surrounded by dirt, but finally end up with a yard we can't wait to use (that will have to wait till next year!)

Had to send Sarah & Andrew back to Australia - miss them.

Big family camping - the highlight of the year! 45 of 50 people made it - LOVED every minute of it!

We began the adventure of homeschooling - it has been a fun start. Now I have to figure out how to get more organized... and maybe blog about it some.

And the final snowfall of 2008 - I heard it referred to as the 'Snowpocalypse' ! For sure - we got a foot here - other places around us got as much as 18. It was fun but we were ready for it to be DONE!!

We are thankful for the MANY blessings of this year - family, friends, a beautiful home to share with them and much hope for this new year!!!
