Year in Review...

I've started the process of going through all of my photo files from 2009, in order to make a "2009 Year In Review" book. I'll probably make it with Shutterfly.com. We've had a good year with many, many blessings. Our family, friends, and good health have us looking back with grateful hearts.

I have so many good memories that stand out. I'll list a few that come to mind beginning in January 2009.
