  7. love it! Love what you said about the ordinary things you did but loved! Great pictures, sounds like an amazing year. I hope that 2011 is amazing for you as well..

  8. Oh, my…have I left a comment? I don’t think so. It has been a crazy day and I just want to have some hot chocolate..the good kind.
    Could I mention how much I love what you do, how much I love seeing those beautiful children who are graced to have you in their life? Could I mention how much the beauty of what you create touches me. And last, but not least, could I mention how e.w. loves to tag along with you. She is great, as you know, but she is darned old. Whew!..and she will soon turn older in January and will wonder how she ever got to this point..but she will say thanks to the likes of you.
    Best of everything to you, you special person and to all of those whom you love.
    (and if i did leave a comment already, chalk it up to old age.)

  9. You had me at the first travel journal! Happy New Year Mary Ann…looking forward to living through more of your adventures in 2011 😉 Fondly, Roberta

  13. I am seriously having withdrawls, I go back to school Monday, as you probably do…too much fun and excitement to rein it in now…I know you startd a visual journal with your kiddos before the break…help me nderstand what a visual journal is as opposed to a regular journal, I’m thinking my sixth graders would enjoy this….thanks
