Pictures of the Year, Part 5
On the home stretch!
This picture of the three kids together might be one of my very favorites for life. They got into my work wardrobe and outfitted themselves for a classical concert. I just loved seeing the three of them be silly together like this:
In 2009 we saw a lot of duality in the kids - so small sometimes, and yet so big and old and mature. I won't soon forget this shot of Anna in goal at one of her soccer games, ready to be fierce, and also sporting a dolphin on her cheek:
We've also learned more about Anna's considerable sense of style. She takes herself seriously, but she also likes to adopt a certain pose:
Maria's look is more traditionally glamorous than Anna's:
Yet Maria also has this wonderful sense of stewardship for other people and for the world, and she often manages to blend both of those traits together:
Nick is perilously close to the teenage years, and can look so grown up sometimes, yet he's still our playful little boy:
It is a real pleasure to write this blog for all of you. Not just because it's a fun way to keep you up to date, but also because it helps me to see our family as it is today - bursting at the seams with life.
If we get a chance to post some Christmas pictures, we will. If not, I'll see you again in 2010. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
