2017 Year In Review

Looking back on the year 2017- it was so fast!  Kids are growing and changing quicker than I can keep up with.  While we didn't have many huge monumental life changes this year (which I'm thankful for), this year was full of little daily memories and milestones to remember. 

January  
Andrew and Kate are officially walking!

Ryan and I did our first and hopefully last Whole30.  This may not seem like a big deal to some people but if you know how we eat then you know it was a huge deal for us! 

We took our first family bike ride.  More than a bike ride this signified us slowly moving to the stage where we can all do fun things together. 

February 
We had a super rough season of sickness, especially Andrew and his poor lungs. 

RSV, Croup, Pneumonia, Double Ear Infections, Double Eye Infections, and the Stomach Virus.  All in a couple of weeks time.  

At the height of the sickness Ryan and I escaped to Grand Cayman for quite possibly the most relaxing and most needed vacation ever.
March 
It was just a flurry but Andrew and Kate saw their first snow

Ryan and James made their commercial debut and even now months later I frequently hear "hey! I think I saw your husband on tv!" Lol.  
April 
We got our first pets! ROYGBIV and Harrison came to join the family.  Despite being told these fish should last awhile I have lost count of how many replacement ones we have ended up with.

I needed a vacation from the vacation of spring break at the beach. 
May
Harrison gave himself a hair cut

The boys got bunk beds and Harrison finally got a big boy bed. 
Andrew and Kate started speech therapy twice a week
June
Harrison turned 4!

We began a summer of beach fun 


Andrew and Kate got to go to their first "preschool camp" which meant I had a week of time ALONE in the house. :) 
July
We celebrated the 4th 

And tried to find ways to stay cool and busy. 
August 
We had a fun weekend of cousin/family time 

James turned 7!

Andrew and Kate are out of diapers!!!

First day of 1st grade for James 
September
First day for Harrison in the 4 year old room

First day of preschool for Andrew and Kate

We had the best Halloween yet.

We had a crazy but amazing Christmas season together!
