So I know that Thanksgiving is the time for gratitude and New Years is supposed to be all about resolutions, goal-setting and good-but-quickly-forgotten intentions. Perhaps I’ll get around to my annual to-do list later, but right now I’m feeling remarkably blessed.
This island has so much beauty to offer!
I take back what I said quite a while ago about my becoming better at floral photography; I’ve realized that hibiscus are just plain photogenic no matter which way you shoot them.
Seriously, look at this! Husband and son doing dishes. Without a doubt, I am blessed beyond measure :)
My son, by the way, is a cutie who makes me smile every day.
Not only is Jake an amazing husband and father, but we have every reason to expect that he’ll actually be HOME for most of 2010!
Another island bonus: this was the weather today, Jan. 1. Cool by our standards, but still perfect for a walk along the beach.
Aahhhh . . . the beach!
And this little guy again. He may be the only thing on the island more photogenic than those hibiscus!
I hope each of you are aware of the goodness and beauty that surrounds you and that joy and love become and remain your focus through the coming year. Know that I also count you among my blessings—I have a pretty good idea who reads this and I’m thinking of each of you individually—you have been and continue to be a blessing in my life and I cherish you, even from a distance.
Happy new year everyone!
Just read about all your blessings and I find myself saying, "NO, I'm the one who is blessed through you, your family and your weekly updates." Guess that mesns we both are blessed beyond measure.
ReplyDeletePray for you daily and I do count you (as well as the rest of my family) at the top of my blessing list.

Love the pictures Heidi....especially the one with Jake and Logan doing the dishes....he's getting so big!
ReplyDeleteJust looked at the pictures again - and noticed the water on the front of Logan's shirt. Double
ReplyDeleteduty - wash the dishes with Dad and wash your
clothes at the same time!! And you are still excellent at taking pictures - both of the flowers and family!
Mom
We think you ought to put the photo of teenage Jake doing dishes next to the one with Logan...still doing dishes after all these years. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you all!
Hugs,
