More Highlight Photo Collages from 2009
Below are a few more collages summarizing the past year for me. These are mainly from events that were too significant - and we had too many cute photos - for me to cut down and only splice into the seasonal summary collages. Most of these event collages revolve around a new little person in our family (I know, surprising, right?) So - in addition to the previously posted seasonal summaries, the following collages show Eva's first Christmas ('08), first birthday party, one-year-old photo shoot, and her baptism. I love to look over these again and remember each of these big events from our past year... we some amazing memories.
Good Bye 2009....
Happy New Year Everyone!
After some tastey homeade liquers to celebrate, and recovering from getting our car towed tonight from Lake Shore Drive (bad alternator cut short our downtown drive/sightseeing stops), I started slowing down to reflect some on this past year. It's been a year full of changes and also waiting for change; full of the same everyday and small things right along with the unique and deeply significant events. It's been a complicated year in some ways - but also a very simple one. I think I am ready for 2010, ready to welcome whatever is next.
I've been loving making collages of my fave photos lately, since the visual connection of where we've been and what has happened helps me remember and organize (at least some of) the random thoughts in my head. I find myself looking back at the collages when I can't remember when something happened, or where the time went. So here is our past year in photo review form. :) 2010 - here we come!
