January to March of 2019

2019

The year is young, but, so far, the biggest thing that has happened to us is the birth of your brother, Lucas!

January

We're continuing strong with our second year of homeschooling.  I can't believe you're going to be in high school next year!  You also are in your second session of co-op and are loving it.  You've met some new friends there.  

Putting together a puzzle

You went back to Black Rock Retreat

February

Your brother, Lucas, was born on 2/16/2019!  We almost lost Lucas, and I had to have an emergency C-Section.  When you came to the hospital to visit him for the first time, you were so overwhelmed that you passed out in the hospital and had to be wheeled down to the emergency room!  What a day!

You do love your brother!  You fed him his first bottle, and he took to it!

Photo creds to you!

March 

So far, February and March have been months of adjustment and slowing down.  I've had such a great time spending days with you and Lucas.  You're a great big sister so far.

From January 2017 to December 2018

Well, I've done a fantastic job of updating this, obviously.  Busy life, blah, blah, blah.  Quite a bit has happened from January 2017 to December 2018.  Quit. A. Bit.  Like, our lives look completely different now.  Let's start at the beginning with some pictures, and I'll try to keep this detailed yet brief.

2018

The biggest change in 2018 was that we got pregnant!

This year won't be in any specific order... because this year was pretty much chaos with the pregnancy and sickness, etc.

Happy New Year!

2017

The biggest change in 2017 was that we started homeschooling!

This was your last year at Boyertown Elementary.  6th grade.

In a better mood now that you've puked after we got to the aquarium (you poor thing!)

promptly wanted to come home after only being there a couple of hours!

I made this purse for you.
