The McDaniel Family: 2010 Here we come!!

I want to first say Happy New Year to everyone! I am excited for a new year. A new start on life. Last year all in all was a great year. God really gave us some obstacle's this year. Some that I first of all never thought would happen to us and some that I just plain never thought I/we could get through. He got us threw it all and here we are still one happy family. I for sure have God to thank for that. I know that he was there the whole time carrying me through some of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. I know he helped me personally but helped our family too. I know that everything that happened there is a reason behind each and every one of them. I know that I really wanted another child. For whatever reason God didn't want that to happen. I am now ok with that. I wasn't for a long time and it really took a lot of tears to get here. I know that God has some kind of plan and I have to trust that. Ok so enough of the sad part of our year. I got to do some pretty cool things also. I spent the first 6 months homeschooling the kids. All though it had its tough times I am glad I did it. I loved getting to spend that extra time with them that goes by so fast. We also got to have Shawni (our neice) come and stay with us for the summer. It was a really crazy time for our family when she was here but she honestly got me through a lot of it. I was happier with her around!! It was a lot of fun. Then we got to move to Olympia which was a true blessing from God. The kids are in a great school and I love our neighborhood. We get way more time with Sean now since we live close to his job for once. It made a great end to the year for us. We have really gotten closer I think through it all. I am truly looking forward to what God has planned for us in 2010. I really hope it is a great year!! Here is a recap of pics from the whole year. A great way to say goodbye to 2009!! :-)
