2010 was a wonderful year for our family. We welcomed a new niece and nephew making nine nieces and nephews for Greg and I. We were blessed to celebrate birthdays and holidays close to our family. While we have moved a little ways down the road, we are still not too far from family. We have watched as our little girl grew one year older. Here are a few recent pictures with hopefully more to come...

I should wait until the one year anniversary to update my long forgotten blog, but predictability has never been my strong suit. Truthfully, I'm sitting here at my computer unable to sleep with no book to read. Okay, I'll say it, I'm bored and wide awake at midnight!

One of the many great things about where we live, is the great places to hike!

For some reason, I am having a hard time inserting additional pics. This post will have to BE CONTINUED...

This has me cracking up, lately!

Have you heard the Fleet Foxes?

Greg and I are in love with this band. Have you heard them? They are awesome!

A Picture Update!

Visiting local museums a few months ago:


See any resemblance between the two?

Where's Allison?

Ahh... life. It flies by and when you remember to look up a year has passed. I have to be careful, my little one is turning four in a few months. FOUR! Yes, I will begin and end the day telling her all about how she came to be! I'm amazed how big she is becoming and frightened at how fast she is growing! This summer for me has been about letting go as a parent. Her visit to the dentist earlier this summer, we were asked to wait outside the room (the door was wide open and we had perfect view of all inside - she was literally 3 steps away). Swimming lessons were without Mommy or Daddy, - "You mean she gets inside the pool without Greg or I ??? Seriously?" I soon realized I wasn't needed and she did wonderful! I have started on the path of learning to let go - in the tiniest, teensiest steps I can possibly take!
