Reflections on a year gone by, 2010.

This last year has been a year.  I am not sure where the time has gone but many things have happened.  If you want to see our year in photos (this is just some not all - forgive me I have been terrible about taking photos of the family this year).  PHOTOS

JR- "DURABLE" is a perfect word to describe this guy.  He has grown a little, packed on a little weight and been able to hold his own with his brother and sister.  His smile and laughter can light a room.  The amount of food he can eat, I am not sure where he puts it.  His curiosity is cute and he is one smart little guy.  It has been a joy seeing his personality come out this year.

HR- "MISS INDEPENDENT" describe this girl to a 'T'.  She has been all over the place this year with emotions.  I think she is trying to figure out the world and how she fits into it.  She is her own person and isn't afraid to go against the norm.  I love that about her.  She is also embracing a gluten-free lifestyle like a person well beyond her years.  She is amazing.

JT- "GROWING" fits this little man.  He is growing in many ways this year.  He is growing physically (praise the Lord!) and he is growing developmentally.  He loves to learn, he loves to build things, he loves to play and he loves to think he is the teacher.  He has grown out of his timidity and into a boy who seems so sure of himself.  His energy (which has exponentially grown since the use of HGH) and his mind can hardly be contained.  He is ready to take on the day and the whole world if we let him.  I not only like helping guide him on his journey in life but I love seeing him find his own-self in his own-way as well.

Momma D- "AMAZED" is just one word to describe my feelings for this last year.  I am amazed by many things.  I am amazed at my children and the fact that I am still sane...lol (mommy humor).  Raising three kids so close in age isn't easy but I wouldn't trade this job for the world, they are such a blessing.  I am amazed at how much my walk with the Lord has changed/grown.  He is still working in me, bless Him for that.  I am amazed at how much our family has been blessed.  No our family isn't perfect by any means but our faith and our love have brought us so far and has seen us through many things.  There are so many other things that I can mention but I think you get the idea.

Daddy D- "DEDICATED" is just something that describes my husband this year.  He has worked so hard at work, going to school, being a husband and father and being a God fearing man.  That isn't always the easiest thing to do when you feel like you are having to do so many things but he is dedicated to his country, his family, his education, church.  I am so blessed to have him in my life.  It has been nice having him home with us this whole year.

2010 has come and gone.  I shared some words that described those in my family, no they aren't the only words that describe us, just ones that describe us for this year.  I pray that your year was blessed and that this year you will continue to be blessed.

What one word would you use to describe yourself for the year 2010?
