2014 Review

Compared to 2012 and 2013, our 2014 was super mellow. We didn't pack up a house and move. We didn't add any more kids to the mix. We did lose our beloved Ruby and add a mutt (Fetcha) and a yellow lab (Drake). Other than a couple trips out West to see family/friends and a road trip to Northern LA, we didn't go on any big vacations. We just lived an every day life, nothing to write home about. Rob worked a lot and Jen took on a part time job in the Fall, teaching 3rd and 6th graders about life skills. Jen's photography business started taking off in the Fall and 2014 became the best year for her business as of yet! P played T-ball for the first time. Like his Mama, he enjoyed the social aspect of it more than the athleticism and competition. His team was undefeated, though, so that made his Daddy happy. P also started Kindergarten in August. He loves it and has already learned so much! Jen volunteers in his class and at the school whenever possible, which P loves. E went from a baby to a toddler this year. He had a rough start to the year by dealing with walking pneumonia. But, after changing pediatricians, he got better and has just had the usual ear infections and colds ever since. He went from crawling to walking to running in a matter of weeks and now he rarely slows down. He learns new words every day and has become quite an independent toddler (For more on him, scroll down to the next blog). I'm sure I could add more about our 2014 but that's been our year in a nutshell. Just like most families we've had the good, the bad and the ugly. But, just like most families, we've been thankful for the good and have made it past the bad. We are blessed beyond measure, something we don't take for granted. Now we close the door on another year and look forward to what 2015 has in store for us.....Happy New Year!!
