Andrew turned the big 3-0!andrew 30

And then R turned the big ONE!!! (sad face….)R turns 1

On May 10th I wrote my first blog post – a BIG “Thank you so very much for reading my blog!!!” to you out there!!!

The end of May showed Reynolds how much he was going to love Aunt Dana and Uncle DJ’s pool.R in the pool

Then came Eliza Jane…the big DUE day.Due day

And in a matter of hours we were a family of FOUR.are you sure

This picture is my favorite because both kids are looking at me almost as if they’re both saying, “are you sure?”

And then we had more blog posts about hijackings (by Reynolds…and my mom?), updating old furniture (and a bathroom and a wood paneled wonderland) push presents, the dishwasher that just wouldn’t stop, family photo shoots, EJ’s first day at daycare and Halloween to name a few others.halloween
