Ahh, life. It truly holds a magnificent hold on each one of us. And only briefly do I ever feel like I am in control. This past year has been full. Looking through these pictures I realize once again, we have been blessed. We have had a joyful family reunion. We have learned, played, found solace in nature, camped, had a delightful musical evening, tried crafting, helped host a family ball of 130+ people, held our own family Valentine dance. I tore my rotator cuff as well as broke my clavicle. The kids have become excellent little cleaners. Science and art may well be our favorite subjects this past year. We lost all of our plants through a summer hail storm. The kids have grown tremendously. Below are a few of the highlights of our past year, in no particular order.
