Glimpses.

And just like that, it's 2010.

Here's a quick glimpse of 2009, I love going back and looking at the year like this. It's crazy the things we forget about in such a short time or even the things we think seem ages ago when they were just three months earlier.

2009 wasn't such a bad year, as a matter of fact, it was pretty good.

January: We adjusted to being a family of six. E was dedicated. T turned double digits just about the time we had to sign H up for preschool. And Boppa returned from a very long sabbatical.

T's 10th birthday.

February: H was officially potty trained. I reminisced about my wedding planning while helping a friend with hers. I wrote to Caribou Coffee, and they didn't really care.


My littles. February 2009.


March: How could it be that E was 3 months old already? I wrote about being a mom and missing mine. My sister got married. M turned 8 and I turned 27. I admitted that being a blended family isn't always easy.

Playing in the snow. March 2009.
Smiley girl. March 2009.

April: E started rice cereal. J and I celebrated five years of wedded bliss. H turned 3.

H is 3. April 2009.

May: We took the littles to their first Twins game. T and M planned a party without parental consent. E's hair went flat and I wrote a letter to Jon and Kate Gosselin.


Craguns. May 2009.


July: H went to the dentist and E wore ponytails. I reflected on my middles and the relationship they share. J turned 36.

The Middles. July 2009.
August: I wrote about how I felt about our blended family and my email inbox went haywire. I unplugged. My friend Hayley got married.

Trying to get a picture of all four on the first day of school. September 2009.
Henry and I at the Apple Orchard. September 2009.

October: I felt out of my groove and didn't post nearly as much as I typically would. E started crawling and H turned 3 and a half.

November: I blogged every single day. Celebrated the month with Thankful Thursday. Was featured in the St. Paul paper. Had a whirlwind trip to Chicago.

T and E while out shopping. November 2009.

December: E got tubes and turned one. All in the same week. Remembered my mom after two years.
Miss E. on Christmas. December 2009.

Happy New Year! Here's to 2010....
