In case you were wondering... 2009 was a great year! Not that you would know it by my numerous posts (ha ha) but still, it was a great year.
In case you were wondering... I had a great birthday!! I turned 40 in June with a surprise party thrown by my husband and my very bestest friends!
In case you were wondering... our family trip to Maine in September was one of the best family get-aways that we have ever been on. Todd and I realized that in 10 1/2 years of marriage all of our family vacations have been with extended family or friends. Not once till September did we all get away and stay by ourselves somewhere. Granted we had family to visit but they didn't stay with us or us with them. Get it? Now don't get me wrong, I love staying with friends and family. It's just that something special happens when it is just your own family. We bonded in a way that we never had before. It was so cozy and special.
Hurray for "Team Cousins"
The dock from which Drew tried to push Reed and gave us all a heart attack!
The crew with Aunt Sue.
All of us in Bar Harbor.
Lunch after the 1/2 Marathon. I love Ann all the way in the back holding up her lobster.
Look... they can sit nicely together!
Our spot on the coast of Maine. Thanks Aunt Sue!! We loved it here!!!
In case you were wondering... we had a great Thanksgiving at Mom-Mom's and Al's house. We got to hang out with the Pagleys and Todd's cousins, Luke and Brianna.
The boys doing magic tricks in the kitchen.
Happy Thanksgiving!

In case you were wondering... Christmas was soooo nice! The kids got the Wii they have been dreaming of for years now and we were able to travel to Deep Creek Lake with Robin and Buff and their kids to go tubing at Wisp. We woke up the last morning to blizzard like conditions (the likes of which are rarely seen in my part of Maryland) which thrilled me to no end!! I love snow!!
Julianna and Britney.
Sisters.

New Year's Eve was quiet (New Year's Morning... not so much). We stayed home and enjoyed an evening in. Julianna got to enjoy a sleep over with her cousin Britney. I on the other hand got to enjoy waking up with Britney at 4:30 am to hold her hair as she puked several times till I finally called my dear brother at 6:30am and told him he unfortunately needed to come and get his sick little girl. Good times.
(sorry no pictures here)
In case you were wondering... I posted about a similar night last January. Must be my lot in life to get up in the wee hours with kids (some mine and some not) and care for them as they get sick.
(again... no pictures here)
In case you were wondering... one of my New Year's resolutions is to blog more!!!
You know. Just in case you were wondering!

I had given up on a post about Maine, but it was totally worth the wait! Nice job summing up the whole fall and winter here nicely. Makes me think I don't actually need to blog every day! :)

Great pictures of Bar Harbor! I totally want ot go there.
I hope you have a great 2010.

Thanks, Michelle! Had been looking for a long time and happy to see your post. But don't give Emilie any ideas!
I loved the overview of your year, Michelle and all the wonderful photos. So glad that Maine and your Maine family were a part of that year. We look forward to seeing you back here in the summer.
Love to all
OK Michelle--it's time for a post about Todd's team. Can you tell that I am over the top on this subject? I think my friends are tired of hearing about it. They don't go so far as to wish his team would lose, but they do wish the season was over!
I am also looking for a post about those 2 birthdays!
Since i know you have nothing else to do and lots of free time, I can bug you about this! What else are mil's for?
LOL ( which means love you lots, not laughing out loud).
Although... wouldn't that be lyl??
