Thank You For Another Great Blogging Year 2009 - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Year 2009 in Review

I watched my baby grow. Matthew turned 12 months old in May and 18 months old in November. Some of you may not even have noticed, but in 2009 I updated my blog with a new template design and some changes, like the top header featuring my nephew James. I only managed to post about two moon photos. I posted about 10 photography tips, including moon photography. The 'tips' post was introduced in 2009, as well as digital postcards, which have been released eight times to date. Only six bird photos—I guess I was behind on chasing them this year, but I am chasing a more important bird—my Matthew, lol. I've got some new abstract photos going, mainly seeds. Lastly, I covered only three main events: Matthew's First Birthday, Father's Day, and Thanksgiving.

Year 2010 Forecast

Listing your accomplishments helps, but listing your goals helps too. So what's coming? More photos, myonlyphoto website [thinking?], top header [thinking?], more moons, more birds, more animals, more abstract, more tips and digital postcards, and probably more of Matthew, and more me talking.
Lastly, I am going on a blogging 'vacation; I will see you next year. And thank you again for your year-long support.

~ Anna

Hi! Another year gone with them going faster than I would like them to go unfortunately. But still with the passing of time, I see all things are in good stead, with the next generation ready to carry on the family name!

Take Care,

Happy New Year…the blogosphere and I are enriched by your contribution and friendship…thanks!

I didn't realize that it's your nephew in the header!

Whatever form your content takes, Anna, I always enjoy and learn something from my visits to your blog, whatever the content. You will be able to chase birds again more often, when Matthew is able to hike with you!

I'm amazed that you can even manage to maintain your blogs, now that you are a mommy.

My love to you and Matthew. And my thanks to you for your blogging friendship in the past couple of years! Happy New Year!
