January: Our sweet baby E joined our family on January 17, 2010. She was born 9 days overdue, the day after her Daddy's birthday. She was a big girl, 9lb 5oz, 21.5 inches. She was a very calm, observant, and physically strong little thing.
February: C took on the role as big sis very easily and loves her little sis feircely. C loves giving E kisses and love, and E can't take her eyes off of her big sissy.
March: E is very strong and has been sitting propped up for a month already. She is already showing us her personality, which is independant and curious. Our family has all been home together since E was born because Daddy had the opportunity to take a voluntary lay off from work. It has been so nice to bond as a family of 4.
April: I lost my dear, sweet Gram in April. She was the strongest, kindest, sweetest woman I have ever known.
May: Grandma and Grandpa G love to come down and visit us, and we love to have them. The girls really enjoy their time with them.
June: Before we had E, I had so many fears of how being a parent of 2 would be and how would I have enough love, energy and patience to go around. To me, there is nothing better than watching my two girls together and seeing how much the love each other.
July: C turns 2 this month, and E is 6 months old!
August: We took an ill-fated (literally) vacation to my family's lake cabin. The only person that didn't get a 4 day stomach flu was me.
September: We spent some time in my hometown, visiting and playing with friends. We did several family outings in September, and had lovely fall weather.
October: Halloween was the highlight of October. We went trick or treating around our neighborhood and had a blast! Also, E started walking in October, at 9 months.
November: The girls spend a lot of time with their Daddy and we all love him so much. I couldn't have asked for a better partner for me and father for my girls.
December: December was filled with Holiday festivities. We enjoyed all of it, the girls really got into the beauty of the season, opening gifts, spending time with friends and family, and that was so fun to see.
I realize that all but one of these pictures are of my girls, but hey, that is what my year consisted of!!
