The Year in Pictures
Instead of spending Willa's nap doing something productive, I went through all of my pictures on Flickr, and put together slide shows of each of the last 4 years.
There are certainly a lot of moments and people dear to us who weren't captured. These are not my "best" pictures- some are unflattering, some are blurry, etc., but they are the pictures that most accurately depict that year.
2005 was about me recovering from career ending shoulder surgery, tons of physical therapy, finding out my dad's cancer had metastasized, a major back injury, and my husband's internship.
In 2006 I was pregnant 3 times (!!!), had two miscarriages, landed an ad campaign with Nikon, Turned 30, had my pictures in The New York Times, traveled a bunch, and had the enjoyable part of my pregnancy with Willa.
2007 was perhaps the most important year I've ever had. I had a very rough pregnancy and was bed ridden for months, Willa was born, my husband became chief resident, and my father passed away.
2008 has been interesting. Willa was modeling, my husband turned 30, finished his residency, and started his fellowship. We moved, my pictures were published in a book, I re injured my shoulder, Obama became president elect, and Willa was diagnosed with Urticaria.

Hi Torrie:
If someone asked me what is right with the world, I would say Torrie, Dr. T., Willa, their animals and your generosity in sharing it all with us. I feel so good after looking at all those pictures, it was wonderful.
Thank you and Happy New Year.

And I can see why she's modeling--those pictures are GORGEOUS! I especially love the one of her hugging the dog!
Happy 2009!

Just beautiful. Hope 2009 brings you good health, happiness, and more get-togethers with me. Because I am selfish like that. xo

I don't know why I never looked at these before. I was near tears at some of them. It means a lot to me to see these because of how well I know you. Oh, and did I ever tell you what an amazing photog you were?
