2014 Recap

2015. A fresh start. Ahhh, I'm excited. Interesting that 2014 started with a day full of sickness and that happened to be the theme throughout the year. To finally get caught up, here's a quick rundown of our year:

January

Sharing with the world Baby #3 was coming!

Exploring new places to go during the cold Minnesota winter

 

February

So much snow time!! My kids loved building a huge snowman!

The start of movie nights!

Finding out Baby #3 was a boy!

Waterpark fun since we decided to not drive to the closest beach (which is about 19 hours away) when we were getting sick of winter:)

 

April

Meeting our new niece, Adrah

30th Birthday!

Easter

 

May

Picnics out with daddy

Spending time with grandparents

 

June

Getting SO close to meeting Baby #3!

 Cousin Time at Reunions!

 

July

The start of craziness as we decided to put our house on the market to move into something bigger

Lots of traveling since we needed to be away from home so much during showings!

 

September

SOOOO many home showings and sickness for Erika. Spending most days at parks to give the kids something to do! (This picture shows the stress of September! :)

 October

Surgery, Trying to pack up our house, Moving to the Country!

 Halloween Superheroes

Enjoying the last few moments at our old house :)

 

November

Realizing how CRAZY it was to move with 3 little kids and a very sick wife but SOOO thankful for this piece of land we call ours now. Unpacking, decorating for Christmas, getting sick with kidney stones, celebrating Aaron's birthday....

December

Walking around a light display that has become an annual tradition

December was the light at the end of the tunnel as a new schedule change has dramatically changed our life for the better and allows us more family time. It was a very busy December but this week's new pace of life has been so worth it. It was also the light at the end of the tunnel with my sicknesses and all the moving details that needed to be worked out.

First Christmas as a family of 5 and in our new home!



*whew* What a year. I was definitely ready for this one to be done and I'm so excited about our 2015. My husband's job hours have changed in the last week and already it has been SO good. He was working overnight shifts and it was draining on us as a family. Now he works during the day and has more days/holidays/and weekends off. I don't ever want to take this schedule for granted (because we've come a LONG way to get a schedule like this!) and have learned a great deal this year about being content in any situation. Happy New Year!
