2 1/2 years?! REALLY?!

Ok, so it's been almost 2 1/2 years since I blogged and I really shouldn't have left it for that long, but as always, life gets in the way and there are other things to do. So much has happened I don't even know where to start. So I think what I am going to do is just start back from December 2012 as best as I can and update. Someday, I have dreams of printing the blog for memories so I would like to have a record of the things that happened.

So, December 2012.

Jackson had to have a little procedure done and had to be under general anesthesia. Everything went perfectly. This was after he came out of surgery. He was so goofy! He was cracking up over this pillow. He kept laughing so hard everytime he put it on his face.

They are so good at helping with laundry.

We went bowling. The kids LOVED it! I am fairly certain this was for Kenadi's birthday

Image
They loved playing with the balloons from Kenadi's birthday.

The Birthday Girl! Every year is amazing to look back and see how healthy and strong she is. She sure has come a long way!

Image
I am pretty sure that I have multiple pictures of the kids playing the piano together.

They love playing with this bunny hat/scarf/gloves.
