This time last year I was a stay at home mom working from home on contract here and there. Alex was home with me, and we were attending 2-3 playdates each week, and Ashley was finishing up her elementary years. Life was GREAT! Here we are facing the new year and I'm just overwhelmed with how each year is better than the last. We have grown so much this past year. We had some major milestones and made so many wonderful memories....here's a little piece of my entries from the past year.
January 12 - Ally (our adopted dog) went back home to Joe. This year we have been fortunate enough to have several opportunities to have her back for visits.
January 16 - It SNOWED! Remember that?
January 19 - Ashley and I started a Taekwando class together. We only did the 6 week class, but had a ton of fun together.
February 2 - Mark and Ashley played hookie and celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the "official" adoption.
February 14 - I made Pink Mashed taters and heart shaped meatloaf.
March 28 - Mark constructed our Rain Barrel, which turned out GREAT and got PLENTY of use! I hope to talk Mark in to doing another for the back yard this spring.
