Welcome to Flashback Friday! (And, trust me, I know that at this point, Friday is almost over.  I have had to work on this post at three separate times today because the site where I upload my photos was having server problems…sorry!)

Today I’m going to employ a fun meme that I’ve used for the past couple of years.  I will post the first sentence from my first blog entry of every month accompanied by a photo from that month.  The photo doesn’t necessarily belong to that particular blog entry, and every sentence is a link back to the actual entry.  This year it gets really tricky because for the first few months of the year I was still blogging at my old place, www.homeschoolblogger.com/kellieann .

Okay, here we go…

January:

Hello people!  My name is Kellie Ann, and I used to post here quite a bit.

February:

  Since Big D is sort of an amateur photographer with a growing collection of equipment, including backdrops and such, there was NO WAY I was going to lug Jack to some over-priced studio for a photo shoot.

March:

People, I’m resolving.

April:

(Oh, shoot.  Looks like I didn’t blog at all in April.  Here’s a picture from that month anyway…)

May:

I am a mess.

June:

Hello.

My name is Kellie, and I’m the Pirate Mom around here.

July:

Mommas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Play Baseball.

August:

1. Vacation and blogging

              Sorry, people, but I tried.  Even with a laptop in tow, I’m useless while vacationing obviously.  

September:

Pluto was demoted from planet status a little over three years ago in August 2006.

October:

I’m glad Dirty Harry has a brother.

November:

We had a weird Halloween….but, I guess that’s sort of the point of this holiday, isn’t it?

December:

I know that technically Vikings were a subset of pirates, a sect of them, if you will. 

Thanks for joining me on my blogging journey in 2009!  I hope you stick around with me for 2010!
