Feb 21 2007 Play by Play lol it's just a day in the life of April type post. :)
First from March 21, 2007 I heart Fridays made me smile too.
Let it go & Very very very from April 2007 were kind of typical for this past year.
Sweetness, Say that again & How I see them from May 2007 are about the good things i n life, the things we say & my awesome kiddos.
Distractions & Thanks in June marks the beginning of my trying to share in small ways what I was feeling as my father in law was dealing with his cancer. It's kind of an indicator for the rest of the year.
September entries had lots of fun pictures & there was an entry about old songs titled Musical Memories that made me smile.

Well I guess I'll stop since I was only supposed to list 5 entries. lol I guess I got a little carried away. It's kind of fun to look back sometimes. :)

3 big events of the year
My adorable nephew Isaac was born to Jill and Josh, there were some big family moves (my mom finally got to move out of Toronto - finding happiness in the quiet of Northern Ont., and Brian and Beth moved to AZ for school) but one big event changed everything. I borrowed some of Jill's pictures because sometimes words just aren't enough.We greatly miss our grandpa, dad, friend & mentor.
I love you dad.

2 things you learned this year
I was reminded that I can be strong and that it's the people in life that matter. Everything else is gravy.

1 way you changed this year
Hmmm... I'm not sure on this one. I feel older, possibly wiser and definately more tired. lol
I'm still learning how to make my own happiness & figuring out what it's going to take to do just that. My kiddos are still my reason and the possibilities still seem endless. It'll be fun to see what 2008 has to offer. :)
