The Year In Review 2010

2010 was definitely a crazy, amazing, wonderful, awful, scary, long, short... basically a year filled with every emotion imaginable. I can honestly say I am beyond ready to leave 2010 behind and start fresh with 2011. Here is a quick, condensed review of our year. I picked 1 major thing that happened each month. It was so hard to pick from the hundreds of pictures we took this year, but these are a bit of our highlights!

JANUARY
This month was filled with lots of playing, swimming lessons, preschool open houses, and finishing getting ready for a new baby. Little did we know what the year had in store for us.

FEBRUARY
February we were SO happy to welcome Nora Jo into our family. We are so blessed!

MARCH
In March we ended up in the hospital with Nora for 3 days due to a fever. This was a crazy month, Nora was sick and Molly was starting to show more symptoms of something being wrong.

APRIL
April was the hardest month of our lives. Molly fainted again, and since we had all ready been to so many doctors to try to figure out what was going on, they sent us for an MRI, which found a lime size life threatening brain tumor. (see the story here) The month was filled with the PICU, brain surgery, and recovery.

MAY
We are SO amazed we are home from the hospital. Molly couldn't be happier to be away from the doctors and hospital and LOVES being back in her pink room. We are relieved to have all 4 of us under the same roof.

JUNE
In June we were pretty busy. But one of the most memorable and important parts of the month is having Nora baptized.

JULY
In July Molly's doctors appointments were finally starting to die down... and then she fell and broke her arm. She was rocking a pink cast the rest of the hot summer.

AUGUST
In August we went camping with family. We usually go on a few camping trips, but with the crazy year this was our only trip. Nora loved camping, and Molly always loves being outside!

SEPTEMBER
This was the busiest and truly humbling month. Molly started preschool twice a week, and turned 3! (We can hardly explain how amazing her being here for those things was). We also were blessed with the amazing support of family, friends and the community, as they held Molly's Miracle "Fun"draiser. We are so lucky to have so much love and support!

OCTOBER
What can I say, Fall is my favorite time off year. We made it to all the fun October activities in West Michigan. And on Halloween, I think I had the cutest Pirate and Parrot ever!

NOVEMBER
Thanksgiving was great this year, filled with family and a lot to be thankful for!

DECEMBER
Hard to believe this was Nora's first Christmas. It feels like she has always been a part of our family, and we can't image life without our girls.

Hope everyone has a great end to the year, and hope and faith for a great 2011
