I first began my blog in September of 2006, only to quit after the first entry, ha! I later picked it back up in June of 2008, just a couple of months before Tilly was born. I love blogging. I love to journal and document events in our life. I love posting pictures of my adorable children, and I love getting comments! This brilliant company came up with an idea of printing and binding your blog for a small fee, ha! For Christmas this year, David's parents gave me a gift card, so you can imagine my haste in wanting to forever capture these precious memories with our family. Saturday night when we came home, this brown box was sitting on our front porch. Don't you love when you get brown boxes in the mail?
May I present to you The O'Dell Family forever captured?
All 274 pages! I guess I blogged a lot in 2010. In fact, when I tried to put it together the first time, it said I exceeded the 1500 picture limit by 12, so I had to go in and delete some blog posts that weren't really relevant to our family, but were maybe just announcements of things going on locally.
Our party of six, established in 2010, thanks to the birth of a certain Story Leigh.
It even had a place for me to write a dedication.
I only printed the 2010 edition of my blog, and I look forward to going back and printing 2009 and 2008 as well. My first entry came on January 3, 2010, the last day before we went back to school after Christmas holidays.
The last entry was on December 30, 2010, a write up of my birthday celebration in Arkansas, with sweet friends. Thanks, Papa and Gigi, for my gift card. I am so thankful to have these memories forever captured for our family to share.
