NYE Twenty-Eleven!!!

Want to know why Haddie has such a

sad face in this picture taken on

New Year's Eve of 2011?!?

 Because she and Walker were fighting

over who got to hold Big Huds!!!

At least it was for a sweet reason!;)

This is much better, Princess Pie...........

 "Play all day!  Rock all night!" 

You go, Walker D!;)

 We had a very low key New Year's...

which was just the way we wanted it.

There was no other place I wanted

to be than home sweet home

with my little family of five! 

I certainly have LIVE entertainment there!!!;)

 I have to be very delicate when I

think about the year we had. 

Dickens' phrase in A Tale of Two Cities

couldn't be more applicable for our 2010...

"It was the best of times,

it was the worst of times..."

Obviously I look at 2010 as the year that my

family's life was changed forever

because of Trav's accident.

As much of a miracle as we are experiencing,

the Travis that we knew for 21 years will

never be the same.  My heart will forever

mourn over that, but at the same time I will

embrace the new Travis AND

the miracle that he is still with us!!!

So as far as the "accident" part of 2010...

that falls under the worst of times.

On the flip side though...

2010 was the best of times. 

It was the year that we were blessed

with the surprise of our lives:

Hudson Jack Pierce!!!

 

 He has done nothing but bring

JOY and LOVE and LAUGHTER

 to our lives!!!

God knew we needed Hudson

and we are SO very VERY thankful 

for his sweet little life!!!

 Here's to more Hudson

(and more Walker & Hadlee!!!!!!!!)

AND

to more miracles for our

Superman in 2011!
