2019 in Review

Well- somehow I've gotten waaay behind in blogging.  As I write this we are currently in the middle of a world wide pandemic, we are about to start our ninth week out of school and life is just crazy! So...what better time than to try to catch up on the blog?!

2019 was what I would refer to as a normal year for our family and normal can be so so good!  Nothing wild or crazy but just ordinary every day moments.  Here are a few of the highlights!

January:  
We had our first full family game night 
We continued weekly swim lessons 

February:
We celebrated Valentine's Day 

We had the most amazing big boy trip

We finally got a couch for the third floor AND it holds us all for movie night 

March 
Harrison asked Jesus into his heart and decided he wanted to be baptized! 


April 
We had a fun day with our cousins 

Happy Easter!

We finally made it to the zoo over spring break!
May

Ryan left for a conference for six nights. The day before he left Harrison started throwing up and several days later we ended up in the emergency room for possible appendicitis.  Not my easiest week to solo parent!  
Happy Mother's Day! SO thankful for this crazy crew. 


We took a trip of a lifetime to Turks and Caicos- ADULTS ONLY!!! 

Celebrated turning 35

Kicked off the summer season with these cuties 
June 
Harrison passed the swim test! Which is not easy at our pool. 
A few days later he turned 6! 
James finished up his baseball season


We celebrated our favorite dad on Father's Day 

After months of issues I ended up in a boot for the majority of the summer

We kicked off summer with our Christmas pjs and doing all sorts of fun activities. It was the first summer where we could really get out easily which was SO nice!

Putt Putt 
Aquarium 


Fort making 

Water fun 

Bowling 
July

Annual beach celebration 

Many many beach days 
Donut runs 


At 3 years and 10 months the twins finally got some freedom by having a toddler bed 
August 
Summer mountain trip tradition 



James turned 9!


First day of 3rd and 1st grade.  I was so hopeful this would be a normal school year after last year's hurricane craziness but alas...it was not
September 
First day of the three year old classroom 

Quick visit from Hurricane Dorian. Much less damage but still no electricity for several days. 

Time for football!

Father son weekend at camp 

These precious miracles turned FOUR


Happy Birthday to Ryan!

We started a house renovation to add another bedroom 

Had a fun Halloween 
November 
The room was still a work in progreess but this girl finally got a big bed AND her own room. 

Andrew moved into the boys' old room.  It hurt my mama heart to separate them. Most of all because it was the end of rocking in the rocking chair together each night!!!

Work in progress but the walls were up for the new big boy room 

December 
All four kids were in the Christmas play at church 

Breakfast with Santa 
Christmas Eve 

This was Ryan's year to work Christmas which was a bit of a bummer but thankfully our families were willing to come celebrate with us 



So long 2019!!!
