One of my more realistic New Years Resolutions is to update our blog more often. I have been selfish with my time and when I have a free moment, I usually spend the time snuggling my very rapidly growing baby or reading a toddler paced story about animals. So much has happened since the last time I posted, I fear I won't catch up. Hopefully I can start with the big events and go from there.
-The kids and I had an awesome trip to Georgia and North Carolina. We got to show off our new arrival and let Caroline charm the pants off everyone. (This trip had a small hospital stay for Caroline, but the Doctors and staff at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta were amazing. They even let me keep Everly in the room with us!)
-Parker turned 4!
-Everly was baptised. We had her baptism the same weekend as Parker's celebration and had a house full of visitors.
-Matthew had a birthday, (a big one) and since he really couldn't take off from work, I brought a small party to him.
-Parker started Montessori school.
-We FINALLY bought a camera worth taking pictures on. (I really can't believe how long it's taken us.)
-We had a fantastic visit from Matthew's Dad (Papa Keith) and Grandma Vicki.
-Parker broke his leg and got a cast up to his hip. I don't even want to talk about it.
-On TWO separate occasions, someone has run into the back of my 4Runner (the last one caused almost $9,000 in damage.) These Virginians need to learn to drive!
As we start 2013, our family is preparing for a deployment and an open heart surgery.
