Remembering 2010

Saying goodbye to 2010.  Doesn't seem possible really that the year has flown by as rapidly as it has.  But here we are, planning our New Years Eve festivities and looking back nightly on the "events" of 2010.  All during the year we have a pocket hanging on the wall where we write notes of things we want to remember.  Some are simple. The fact that our hydrangea had a spectacular season for the first time ever. Some mark kid milestones, like the kids starting an activity or taking initiative in something in a new way.  Some are football scores of Rob's favorite teams. (giggle)  Tonight I took out the slips of paper and there were 63 of them.  So we have decided to read some each night through New Years Eve.  K is at work tonight and Lissa can't read, but everyone else took a few and we read them.  Suddenly the Whale Watch was fresh in our mind, our evenings at the local tot park were warming us despite winters chill.  We remembered KC's home made summer carnival, and Rob's week at away camp.  The cold sub zero winds faded for awhile and by the light of our candles, we remembered.
