January
Ryder and Lucas got their two bottom teeth at the same time- one was just the adult version
I was a work-site widow when Eric worked 26 consecutive days many were 13+ hour daysI revamped my Photography 365 blog (which sadly I do nothing with again)
Put a few videos on my blog- including this one (click here) where you can hear how I say things
I told about how socks almost made us late to school
February
My family got a private tour of the newly finished hospital my husband built
I had two flat visitorsWe had a fancy family Valentines Dinner (a new tradition)
My baby turned 9 months old
(little heart breaker)
March
My husband celebrated his 32 birthday and I made him a hospital cake (not because he is old but because he builds hospitals)
I took one of my all time favorite pictures
(I have this hanging in my house as a 16X20 metal print)
I told why my inability to fail had me at the grocery store at 6:30 AM
Showed you the many faces of Ryder from his 10 month shoot

I wrote my first Proud Mommy Moment- and started to get the idea for a meme
Created this map after a conversation with Alex about California being "the world"
It has been so fun going back and rereading some of these posts and it is amazing how much I have forgotten already! It makes me very grateful for my blog as I am a horrible journal writer.
So ready! I can't wait to see your recaps! And if you don't have done today- don't fret you have until Tuesday for week one. Next Friday will be recaps of April, May and June.
I love all your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI remember getting some flat visitors too! They was great company.
You had a busy three months!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is really cool!
As always, great pictures!!! I love the Valentine's Day dinner idea! My parents do that, too, and invite other couples over. It was a really fun tradition when they lived in the US!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean CA isn't the whole world!? Of course it is! ;) I had to go back and read the sock story. Hehehe. That is awesome. Hard to believe one so sweet and adorable could cause such trouble. He just saw something that looked tasty. :P

I loved your photos! The one of your kids with the balloon is very very precious! And it was so fun to see your vlog! We do a Valentine's Daddy/Daughter dinner date every year. I was the server last time. Though it might become a family Valentine dinner so my boys don't get jealous.

I remember the post about your hubby's hospital!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute baby boy!
It's fun to read through these. I should look at mine, except it's pretty boring.
Not having kids around all the time makes for not nearly as exciting.

ReplyDeleteLove the cute pics! And such talent when it comes to cake-making.
ReplyDeleteSandy
That "faces of Ryder" post is still one of my all time favorites! It made me smile again today.
