Favorite Photographs of 2009

These are my two favorite photographs of the three eldest grandchildren. I wish we had more opportunities for "cousin times", and I cherish the times that we can all be together!




Ari is our youngest grandchild. Here he is pictured laying in the bouncer on a quilt that the Aunt's (Linda, Bonnie & Joyce) made when I was pregnant with Ben. I used this quilt with all of our children when they were small, and I have carried on that tradition with all of the grandchildren that come to my house as babies!











Moses, or "Moshe" as we sometimes call him is a very happy little guy! We were blessed by having his presence in our home for the first three months of his life. Watching him in the early months brought so many memories back of when our children were small!





Haley is priceless in this picture! She is the rose between the thorns as the only grand-daughter in this team of boys. However, don't be fooled. She may appear to be quite shy, but she can hold her own!











These are my favorite pictures of Daylen for a couple of reasons. We lost Clancy, our beloved Australian Shepherd in the fall of 2009 and this was probably one of the last series of pictures I took with Clancy in the picture. He loved to go on walks with us. I also love this exchange between Poppe and Daylen as they walk north on the road toward our house.Daylen thought he would run in the corn and hide from me, but I found him anyway! He is wearing the blue jean jacket that Marlin wore as a young boy! It was handed down from his Colorado cousins so it has been worn by several Schrock kids including my own. They don't make clothes like they used to, do they?? And...let me mention by the way that it was American made!!

This is Alex in the apple tree in our yard. Every little boy needs an apple tree to climb, don't you think?
