On a personal note...

Dear Friends and Family,
As the year 2010 comes to an end, I have been thinking a lot about the past 12 months. I have started and restarted this blog post so many times I can't even count. Wanna know why? Because even after experiencing the last 12 months, I still can't put 2010 into words that will explain to you how incredibly blessed we are. I think about how in January, Eric and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. In February, we watched Abby celebrate her 3rd birthday. In March, we were thrilled to capture a video of two healthy baby girls. In April, we experienced the worst moments of our entire lives. In May, we watched God perform miracles. In June, we were together as a family of 5 for the first time in a hospital hallway. In July, we were home sweet home. In August, we bought a new home. In September, we moved to Enterprise. In October, we stepped out for the first time as a family of five. In November, we were thankful for everything. And in December, we sat back and enjoyed the month with family, friends and our healthy, beautiful, wonderful daughters. Well, there you have it...our year in a few simple words. In a way, I can't help but think about one of Dickens' most famous opening lines...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. But really nothing I can say begins to describe how with everything we went through, with every tear shed, with every prayer said, with every smile that shined, we were so incredibly blessed in 2010. We thank each and every one of you that took this past year's journey with us. We enjoy sharing our lives with you, whether in person or through our blog, and we hope you will join us as we see what blessings are ahead for us in 2011. So, from our family to your family - Happy New Year!
Love,
Barbara

P.S. And there is no way I can end a blog about how blessed we are, without sharing some pictures, taken today, of our three biggest blessings! I say it about a thousand times a day, but "Love, Love, Love!"
