The BEST and WORST of 2008!

I will start with the WORST of 2008. According to The Strong Man that is soooooo me to do that. He believes me to be a "negative" person. I call myself a "realist." The Strong Man says that is what every negative person says. Blah blah blah....

I will begin with the LEAST and end with the GREATEST WORST thing that plagued my Circus Spectacular in 2008.

Soap in the EYES!!!

A sippy cup upside the head from an adoring older brother!!

Stunt practice gone bad!

(Really, he was just practicing his dramatics!! Every ounce of the following was an ACT!!!)

Hernia Surgery

(The poor thing had 3 of them!!!)

Hurricane IKE

WRECK!!!

By far the worst thing that happened to us in 2008 was my Dad's TIA/Mini-stroke on Christmas Eve. HOWEVER, the worst DECISION I made in 2008 was letting him DRIVE us to the hospital!!!!

All of those things aside, we are VERY grateful. We understand how all of these "Worsts" could have been a lot WORSE!!!

Now on to the BEST of 2008! Too many blessings to count!
