2013

Once again, this year flew by.  Our 2013 was filled with many blessings.  Here are my favorite memories...

We spent most of January preparing for Grey to arrive.  James took Hunter on a special guy's outing (and my memory is so horrible, that I can't remember where they went.  This is why I have to have pictures, people).  And Char and I headed to see Snow White at Sachse High School....
You can barely see the poor girl because of my huge belly!
 
On February 2nd (2 weeks earlier than expected!), we welcomed our sweet Grey...
 
 



 
In March, we adjusted to being a family of five, had fun with our cousins during spring break, and celebrated Hunter's 6th birthday Ninjago style...



 

 

 
In April, we kept on adjusting to life with our third kid (I think we're STILL adjusting!), but were able to squeeze some fun in there, too.  Charlotte and I went to our annual Disney on Ice show with Amelia and her mommy...





 
And Hunter started his first season playing baseball.  He had 4 buddies from his class on his team, which made it so fun for him!


 
May was full of celebrations!  Charlotte had her first ever ballet recital...
 



She was a beautiful ballerina, and we loved watching her dance!
 
Grey was dedicated to the Lord...


 
And Hunter graduated from Kindergarten!


 
In June, we had tons of summer fun, but my favorite was taking Grey on his first road trip to visit Nana and Rich's beach house...




 
In July, we headed back to the beach house (with James this time!) and had lots more fun in the sun.  And, of course, celebrated Charlotte's fourth birthday...


 
We had Charlotte's party in August...



 
And Hunter started first grade!!


 
In September, Charlotte started her last year of preschool...

 
In October we went do Disney World!!!














(I promise Hunter had just as much fun as Charlotte...he just doesn't love the camera like she does!)
 
The kids and I finally visited the Children's Garden at the Arboretum in November...



 
 
December was filled with lots of fun activities, but my favorite was spending time with my family the week Courtney was in town for Christmas and New Year's...


 
The Lord blessed us richly in 2013.  All glory and praise to Him for his goodness and love.  We look forward to 2014 with eager anticipation of the plans He has for us!
