You Capture is back! It’s been a busy few weeks for everyone, especially Beth. So she took a little hiatus, then challenged us to gather up our favorite photos from 2009.
Well, seeing as I’ve challenged myself to a Project 365, I’m not too ambitious in pulling together pictures again. So I’m going to re-post my “Ode to 2009” where I posted a bunch of pictures from the year. I’m also quite proud of my creativity, and it’s fun to share again!
So for those of you who haven’t seen this yet, enjoy! And those who saw it the first time, enjoy!
Ode to 2009
We’ve had quite a year, a year so fine.
Let’s review what’s happened for the Hoffman’s in 2009!
The year started with visiting the art museum and Domes.
Noah lost his first tooth and the tooth fairy visited our home.
In February we drove to Oshkosh to see the museum of the EAA.
Warm temps took us to the playground, and we had a sledding day.
Frisbees and scooters were pulled out in March for fun.
Betty Brinn was a cool outing, and a warm day led us out to run.
April was filled with music class, Easter, running Crazylegs and the zoo.
Seeing the Badger Band concert, ice cream on the Terrace and celebrating Boppa’s birthday (and Noah’s half) at a Brewer game-that’s a lot to do!
Noah graduated from preschool and the boys sang in the choir in May.
We blew bubbles, went to the park, and made our own parade to celebrate Memorial Day.
June was a big month-Sarah won from Macy’s (for moms) a great cross-country trip.
It started in Disneyland with Matte and Cathy for some fun-filled days, then off we went to Disney World-we were so excited we could have flipped!
The boys rode an elephant with Nana and Boppa, and in lessons the boys swam.
The Fourth of July was great fun at the lake and at the parade with the fam.
August found us at the beach to swim, eat lunch, and play in the sand.
We celebrated Andy’s birthday, Noah played t-ball, and we went for walks hand in hand.
The boys started school, Noah in Kindergarten, and Caden in preschool.
We went apple picking, found pumpkins, and went to Dozer Day in September which was cool!
Noah turned 6 in October, and Sarah turned (ahem!) 33.
It was all Star Wars for Halloween, and Andy and Sarah went to Las Vegas kid-free!
November started with a zoo tour, gymnastics for Caden, warm weekends and kite-flying fun.
Sarah had a picture published, Andy played hockey, and for Thanksgiving we ate a ton.
As for festive December, we celebrated Caden’s birthday-how can he be 4?!
Noah was a shepherd in the church Christmas pageant, we went to the Quad Christmas party, had fun Advent activities-we wish there were time for more!
Which brings 2009 to a close, a wonderful year with my three men.
We’re so thankful for friends and family, our health and our home, now bring on 2010!
Go see what others captured in 2009!
