I LOVED reading this Kelly! I hate you just a little, because you do NOT age....in fact, I think you look younger today than you did 10 years ago! SERIOUSLY!! And, I can't believe how much Audrey looks like Grant in some of her younger pictures - especially the one of her in the bathing suit - her litte profile looks just like his! Thanks for sharing your family and the stories of your lives each day - I'm so glad you have a blogging "addiction" because I am definitely addicted to keeping up with your precious family! Happy New Year!

I agree with Amy...you haven't changed much at all in your looking back pictures!!! I loved looking through the pictures! And it was so fun seeing a pic of Ryan:)

I really enjoyed all the Christmas pics! The Crippled Lamb is an annual favorite at our house. I had it and read it to my student girls a couple of years prior to becoming a mom. I had such a great time looking at your last ten years especially seeing you as a beautiful bride since I missed that glorious day as I was living 3000 miles away. My how time flies, huh? Love you girl! Happy New Year!
