A look back...

Happy New Year!

I am cleaning out my photos and decided (as I have seen other bloggers do) to post a favorite shot from each month of 2010. These are not necessarily my best photogrpahy shots but they spoke to me as I went through each month.  It was hard to pick just one because some months I had lots of photos I loved and some months I had none.

I am not sure I ever posted this shot but found it in I-photo.  It is Chinese New Year.  Dave made homemade Chinese food (soy free...H is allergic to soy).  I love it.

These are my juicing ingredients (kale, cucumber, celery and apple).  I feel so great when I juice.  MUST begin again!

Kate and Harry out on Uncle Joe's boat.
 I love the colors of this shot and I love how Kate is touching Harry's arm.  She loves him so much!

Harry is praying in the dugout at his playoff baseball game.  I know technically it is not the best photo and it might be better if he were in focus and the fence was not but I still like it.   I love that Harry is confident enough to pray like that in front of his teammates!

June

This was a tough month because there were lots of good photos (unlike Jan and Feb). I had some great ones of Kate's party and a neighbor's party.  Ultimately though this is my favorite of our whole family.

I had to choose this special photo of the "sister-friends" from our beach time.  It was so special!
(oops I just realized I did not take --this Di took it:)  So, here is one that I took...

could she be any cuter?

I have much better photos of Will but  apparently I barely took any photos in September and this shot is of Will going to cotillion so it makes me smile.

November
I just love everything about this shot.

Again, not technically a great photo BUT both boys were sick the other night and Kate was really worried about them.  So, she knelt in front of the fire and prayed.  I grabbed my camera.  It was very dark.  I just love the sentiment.

I started a 365 yet again this year.  Maybe the third time is the charm right?  You can follow it here.  Hopefully, I will get a makeover on this photoblog soon;)

  9. This is so random but your juice photo reminded me that I keep forgetting to ask you something. When you juice, are you able to save it in the fridge for a few days or do you need to drink it asap. I bought a juicer a year or more ago but have only used it a few times because I do not have room for it on my counter. But I am thinking if I can maybe limit my use to two or three days a week, I might be more inclined to stick to juicing.

    Thanks and happy new year!

  16. What a great year in review. I love every one of the beautiful photos, but my favorite has to be the one of Kate kneeling to pray in that beautiful dress. I love that shade of blue. Hope you don't mind, but I loved this idea so much that I did a similar post.

  21. Sweet, sweet photos. I love the two of your children praying. My oldest will pray on the baseball field too. I really need to get a photo of it. And how thoughtful of Kate to pray for her brothers. Priceless!

  25. I LOVE this post! What a fun recap. You take such beautiful pictures. I'm so jealous!
    And what a fun trip down memory lane for me, too :)

    I've never heard of the 365 project before. Is it supposed to be 365 posts in a year or 365 posted pictures in a year or...?
