A Pictoral Glimpse of 2009




Learning to ride her bike ~ January 2009
 



Many Youth Orchestra practices, performances and concerts throughout the year


Fishing...catch and release several times...a birthday memory


Spring Picnic and several other times of fellowship gatherings during the year





Snippets from our stay in TN


Trip to KY ~ Wonderful time at the Creation Museum

While in KY ~ a drive north into Ohio to visit the US Air Force Museum



The men in the family enjoyed a Cincinatti Reds game on Memorial Day...and took home a foul ball to remember the day


Snippets from our week in NC


Many trips to the beach over the summer ~ always new sea creatures to be discovered...this was quite a day


What's summer without watermelon ~ I can only imagine how much was eaten this summer!


A fun field trip to tour the Nina and Pinta replica ships ~ VERY HOT day


September Events...My 38th and 5 days later the much anticipated arrival of Elizabeth Hope!


Fall Family Style Fun ~ Pioneer Settlement was the setting of a full day enjoying musicians, artisians, craftsmen, good food and fun ~ like barn dancing.


Several trips to the museum...family membership is great!




This was a blessed two day event Alyssa & I participated in ~ both days full of Biblical training in godly character, etiquette and the finale of a full luncheon ~ putting all the learning into action.


Every year we take a family Christmas picture and there is usually a story to share...


The last quarter of this year has been a joy with Elizabeth ~ she is greatly loved & not usually without one of her siblings at her side.


Our 2nd annual trip to see the Festival of Lights locally ~ a new family tradition we have enjoyed.  Whether at the festival or out looking at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve, we always look for the nativity scenes.



Before Christmas Sunday service...Elizabeth's 1st


That is a glimpse of our year...so much more was done, experienced and seen.  So many "seasons of life" which we have walked through...so grateful for His grace and mercy as we did.

What a wonderful year it has been!
I think that it is a great idea to review and cherish past memories, and to look forward at this new year as another year to live as a light for Him. Blessing this new year!
