2011 in review
So I have a family history of forgetfulness. It’s on my dad’s side. There is an inkling of a fear that I will become COMPLETELY forgetful before too long. As the people I live with and work with…without a list or a notebook, I am at a loss.
My long term memory is pretty great, but over this past year, as I have enjoyed many special moments with my kids, I keep thinking, I need to write this down! Thankfully, I have some great people in my life who take pictures, and share them with me. You will be able to clearly see which pictures I took (the blurry ones) and which pictures someone else took. But, these are the highlights of our year past.
My intent with blogging is 2-fold. 1) to keep track of the things I see, hear, and feel, 2) to share with others stories from my life and family, which is also a part of the ministry I feel called to.

the great baby shower put on by our lovely community group and friends

Happy Birthday Ezra!
Josiah on the “bobby bike”. His own personal motorcycle (more about that another time)
Easter Sunday! Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get a family picture…
Ezra broke his arm right before our community group came over one spring evening. We didn’t know it was broken until a day later. He really wasn’t phased however.
She pretty much melts our heartsevery day.
Uncle Val helped find the boys their very own motorcycle helmets. Probably the best gift they will EVER get (according to them anyway)
about 4 months and finally okay with tummy time…it took her a long while to get here!
Four generations: Grandma Char (great-grandma) , Kathy (Nana), Katey, Selah
The boys and their beloved cousins in Portland
Ezra’s first bee sting. He was out on a walk and some ducks flew up from the ground, starting a little bee on a flower that zipped over Ez’s head and stung his forehead unexpectedly.
Ezra’s first day of Preschool!
Spider Man!
Cat in the Hat and a cute baby “x-ray”
This summarizes Christmas in the Nedelisky home, all 17 of us together in one room. It was a beautiful mess.
It was a full and wonderful year. A few missing pictures, like the trip to the Mountain Cabin, and many summer afternoons spent in the back yard wading pool, but I am so thankful for each of these memories.
