Eli's Lids: 2008 in Pictures...

I was blog hopping (term I made up for randomly going one people's blogs without rhyme or reason... the only rule... you have to leave a comment if you like what you see!!) and I came across Annie Blogs. She had the best idea to summarize the year in pictures... she chose one picture each month to represent what happened. How cool is that!?!?!!! I had a hard time choosing just one picture... but I scaled down as much as possible and here is what I came up with. Please join me in my year review (also the most-hair-styles-I-have-ever-had year)....January...I was savoring the last month before becoming a mom of two... those were some of the most precious times I had with Eli.

(btw- hot hubby thinks I look like I'm giving birth in this picture... I think I'm telling a funny story)
February...Cora arrives on Valentines Day... 9 days LATE!!!

March...

We are getting to know Cora Jane. Her high pitched screams make our ears bleed but her smiles make our hearts melt!!

April...

Life is getting more and more "normal..."

My hair is even lighter... finally getting back to the look I want...

Diane@Diane's Place said...: Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. New friends are always welcome. :o)

What a neat idea to do a review of the year with a pic from each month! And I love the way you do the captions on the pics. How do you do that, if I may ask? Do you have a particular program or application to do that?

Have a great week!

Hugs,

And I agree w/ Melissa - your January picture is hilarious. Are you sure you're not having Braxton Hicks???; January 05, 2009
Jon and Melissa said...: I think January's pic looks like you are pooping. I seriosuly can't stop laughing when I see it. Frame that sucker or blow it up and stick it in the bathroom for kicks and giggles.; January 06, 2009
Karen @dixielandcrafts said...: Oh girl I love love love this idea! I want to do it, is it too late. Would it be to tacky to post at the end of Jan. 2009! LOL Oh what the hay. So come on by and check it out later. K? Thanks ;)

It's been a joy getting to know you. BTW, your kids are just adorable and I have to agree with hubby. You did look like you were having labor pains in Jan. pic. LOL

God Bless,

Karen @dixielandcrafts said...: Okay I did mine.... I didn't realize how long that would take. I'm up way too late. hehe
