This year I tried to compile the photos whilst away from them. This was not conducive to choosing a photo a month, not even two photos a month. I ended up poring over our Flickr account with Tim in the small coffee shop in the mountain town with excellent wifi...
They are so lovely to me. I understand that there are not many who will sit through over 70 photos in a blog post, but I am not that good at culling, especially when it comes to mine own...
And especially when it comes to Time. Time is somewhat of a conundrum to me now. I never have enough. I never know how to ask it to slow. I never really know. I want it to be so many things but it is just Time and it does what it does.
The oddest thing to me is that the reflection in Flickr and Blog World somewhat shaped my memories of 2009. I recall each moment captured when I view it, as if it just happened. If you were to ask me about another moment, not pictures, would I know as well? I am not sure.
Anyhow, here it is, our boys through the year of '09, captured in random moments as they and the camera fell...
2009 in {too} many pictures.

That's-okay.

Well I chose to look through all the pictures, and they were lovely. I especially loved the one with the three kids looking at the fence, and the two balancing on the logs. Must be lovely to be able to examine your family in such a retrospective way. :) Happy New Year!
They have grown up so much in one short year!
Definitely NOT too many photos! I wanted more! I cannot believe how much the boys have grown from babies into little kids over the past year....amazing. I thought about doing something along these lines and now I'm REALLY considering it - if only to see the progression of how much my girls have grown.
Your boys are so blessed. They live such a full and beautiful life with you, Tim and your families. One day we will get all the littles together and rejoice in all of our blessings! Happy New Year *hugs*
not too many pictures. not at all.
they are beautiful. they are growing so darn fast.
those boys are going to break many a heart with those eyes. loved every picture and both your talents at capturing the essence of the moment! here's to another year full of wonder. much love!
