If you've read my blog for very long you might remember that we started a year-end tradition last year of writing down all of our blessings from that year. You can read last year's blessings here. Anyway, tonight we made our list for 2010 and we are just as blessed, if not more so, than last year. Take a look at all that God has given us and our friends and family, provided us with, and blessed us with in 2010!

sweet idea! sounds like a wonderful year!
Happy New Year!!
Congrats on your sweet baby girl! They are SO fun! And I LOVE that y'all are using the name Sawyer. We adore the name and I am still completely in love with it! We need some more cute girly Sawyer's in this world and I know y'alls will be precious!
And btw, you will have TONS of people (if you haven't already) ask if you are naming your sweet GIRL after Sawyer on Lost. Now don't get me wrong, we like us some Sawyer but do people REALLY think we named our daughter after a con-artist?! Ha! And that is what we nicely tell them. :)
