2009 in Pictures, Part 1

As 2010 begins I realized that my life has changed SO much over this decade. 10 years ago I was 20 years old, living in a sorority dorm, working at pregnancy center , and loving UT. In 10 years I got married , lived in Memphis, ran a few half marathons (still want to do the big one), moved overseas, learned a new language, became a mom, moved to our 2nd Central Asian country, had baby #2, and learned how to cook almost everything from scratch. WOW. My life has really changed. 10 years passed so quickly, the next time we enter a new decade I'll be 40 - YIKES. !

Here are some of my favorite Pictures of the Day for 2009. Enjoy!

MAY

I had to include this one. I know she's mine, but how stinkin' cute is this.

JUNE

Olivia's first trip to the beach and the pool when we went to a training conference.

Unfortunately the water was still way too cold.

At the end of June, Olivia officially transitioned to cow's milk in a sippy cup. This year went way too fast!
