In Which I Am Sooo Mad At Myself, Part B

OK, so I'm not really very mad any more. But since there was a Part A, there should be a Part B, right?

Now just to remind you (and me) of what I am doing . . . I am, in two posts, rapidly covering the past two YEARS in which I did not post a single thing. These two posts go backwards, because I started with what was most fresh in my memory. (I read somewhere that you're supposed to do that. It was advice from somebody like the Scrapbooking Institute or something. And that last remark is an inside joke which I won't bother to explain here.) So, for this current post, that leaves me needing to cover from the Spring of 2011 back through the Summer of 2010. A mere nine months or so! I can do that!

So, let's begin--or let's end, if you'd rather look at it that way.

Spring 2011


Awww. Back when Sunday was a little kitten,
she loved hiding under this chair!

Resurrection Day - April 24, 2011. Ooo, don't we look nice?
(This was 6 days before JoJo was born, btw.)


And here I shall tell you that my dear little JoJo deserves his own separate post in honor of his birth. And so I shall make one for him sometime soon and come back and put a link to it right HERE.



After Joe's dedication, we went to a playground that was
near our old house, for old times' sake.



Zeke with the tulips that he planted last fall.

We celebrate Andy's 16th birthday
at a Mexican restaurant in Marysville.

Then it's cake and presents back at home.


Mmmm. 

Sweet Sarah turns 14.




A little snippet of a song Andy wrote as Sarah's birthday present.


Working backwards again now, I present . . . the winter.

Winter 2010 - 2011


Mary and Sarah after Mary's dance class performed
the snowman dance on the street in Marysville.

Our family in PA before the Christmas Eve service
at Wheatland Presbyterian.

A visit with dear Sara on the farm in Souderton.

One last visit with our precious Aunt Peggy in Lansdale.

All the Stuarts and Petersons in Millersville, PA.


We rode the train in Strasburg.

Mary and Elias after visiting the East Tennessee Discovery Center
in Knoxville, TN.

All us Petersons in Knoxville.


This beautiful artwork that looks like palm trees
is actually just frost on our deck wood.


Sissy and Elias build a snowman.

Not sure why we went for a cold treat in the middle of winter,
but it looks like it was fun!


Yay! David has a birthday!

Fall 2010


We found out we would be having another baby in 2011!
What great news!


In our backyard leaves.



Mary turned five in October.


Zeke turned eight in November.

Zeke stuffs our Thanksgiving turkey.



 And finally, on to the last section of this post . . . the summer of 2010.

Summer 2010


One thing I know is that we went on a great trip to Florida! I can't believe I only have about three decent pictures from the trip to post here. It's very possible that I have more that I just can't find, so who knows? You should  probably come back and check this every day for the rest of your life if you want to see if I ever post any additional pictures.

The warm and welcoming Walkers of Toccoa Falls, GA
took us to see the Falls.

We went to Disney World!

We went to The Holy Land Experience!

And we went to the beach!


And the rest of these pictures and videos will be in completely random order! Of course, they all occurred during the Summer of 2010.

Best event of the summer: Zeke was baptized!


I love these boys!

What a cutie!

Elias turns two!

This is Sarah's handiwork.

Staining the cabinets that would become
part of our built-in-bookshelves.



Another nice sunset.



I don't know why we took this.
Maybe cause we're all just so good looking?
Or maybe to show off our new world map wallpaper?



Our kids and their wonderful grandmas!

I have to admit that I don't know if this one
and the next one are from the summer of 2010.
But they deserve to be in a blog post somewhere.



Joan made us these baskets. Isn't she incredible!




This is Andy's TeenPact group.



Andy, Sarah, and Danny went on a trip out west with my parents.
And Bob went along too.


Danny turned ten!



Something I would like to point out here is that doing all of your pictures and seasons backwards is a horrible idea. You should never do it on your own blog. I have done it, and I am thoroughly confused.


Well, I am done! On my preview, it looks like I have some font problems right here at the end. But I am going to just be done. That's it!


I will write one more post about JoJo's birth, and then I will be all caught up. Now won't that be great!
