The Best of 2010

For the past few years I have doodled a word in my pocket calendar on January 1st. On January 1, 201o I doodled “blessed”. I had only a faint idea of how true that would be for us.

My 2010 best list (in [mostly] chronological order):

  • The birth of our precious Raelyn Grace
  • Maternity leave & lots of visitors
  • Finalization day
  • Raelyn’s dedication at our church
  • Mark’s parents retiring to the Indy area
  • Watching Raelyn develop bonds with her cousins
  • Our first Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
  • Our NYC vacation and attending the US Open
  • My early “retirement”
  • Learning Raelyn will become a big sister in 2011

My favorite blog post from 2010 is hands down Raelyn’s Birth Story.

2010 was our best year yet! We’re pretty sure 2011 will be just as good, if not better. :)

p.s. For anyone wondering, in 2009 I doodled “hope”. I’ll leave you wondering what my 2011 doodle is. ;)

Yes, 2010 was a blessed year as will be 2011. Thanks for the reminder of so many of the blessings we shared with you.
