2010 was a very busy, very exciting year for our little family. It was full of many life-changing events. Here's a recap, in pictures:
January: Hunkering down from the cold and getting sweet kisses.
February: A visit from Uncle Brian and Aunt Julia, just in time for Uncle's 30th B-Day!
March: Rissa Roo turned three years old!
And, she had an unfortunate accident resulting in a broken wrist. 
April: Rissa added pneumonia to her broken wrist. :-( Luckily, we caught it right in the beginning so it did not hit her as hard as in the past.
May: Hung out with friends and enjoyed the warmer weather.
June: Rissa had her big surgery to reconstruct her airway. Just a step along the way to getting her trach out!
July: Getting dressed in her 4th of July best and hanging out with two Aunties and an Uncle!
August: Sleep study, complete with goopy hair and marker on her face. Yet another step toward decannulation.
September: This was a huge, exciting month! It started out with a visit from Grandma. She stayed for a week and she and Rissa loved on each other lots!
Then, I started taking care of my friend's baby boy when she went back to work during the weekdays. Now, Marissa has a "little brother" to boss around!
Then of course, the biggest and most exciting part of the whole year: Rissa had her trach taken out for good! So awesome!!
October: Showing off her naked neck and being Minnie Mouse for Halloween.
November: Another huge milestone: Rissa started school! She absolutely loves it!
December: One last milestone for the year: Rissa's first haircut. We only took about two inches off but it looks great!
Finally, a wonderful Christmas spent in Grand Junction, at Nana & Papa's farm with our awesome family!
Whew! Can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us! Happy New Year, Friends!
