The past year has been full of many ups and downs. I'm glad to say mostly ups. I think everyone can safely say that 2011 was a character building year! With help from Taryn and Mariah, I have pulled photos from the past year. Thank you for your help - it was quite a project.
December 2010 to June 2011:
The patio project began, to beautify and repair damage from shifting foundation
Taryn with all her human and zombie friends at college 2010
Gib enjoying the arbor being built.
Little did he know he'd be spending alot of time under it as a BBQ chef.
Family photos Jan 2011
Mariah's birthday party. I've almost recovered from it.
Taryn and Tim at St. Patricks Day Parade, St. Louis
Mariah, a boutique dress, and one of many new hairstyles this year
Gib - taller than this dad now and called in for all the big jobs
Easter. Less kids=More Crush for Us
After family and felines, I don't have many other photo categories. However, deer do seem to appear almost as much as landscape. This was my favorite deer photo taken one day in May when I arrived home from work and saw this little fawn hiding under the van.
Hence the name Swag Deer.
The patio project finished!
We have even more outdoor living now!
Indie packing for Africa at the end of May. Getting ready for Ethiopia!
Indie with Mike and Gib in Macon. Indie and I had driven to Georgia to finish shopping for Africa, and to get the OK from her team of doctors for her to go. Mike and Gib came to pick me up, while Indie stayed for coursework prior to leaving for Ethiopia.
I believe this is slightly out of order and was taken on Memorial Day.
Being together brings out the best in everyone
When she gets wiser, Mariah won't sit in the front row

Taryn talking to Tim about how horrible it was to be mistaken for a 13 yr old at Mariah's Duke TIP awards program held at Vanderbilt
We thought it was hilarious
