2015. A look back

What a year it has been for our little family!  We have had lots of adventures and fun, many sleepless nights, LOTS of doctor appointments, and learned to love as a family of four.  Here is a little look back at 2015.

January

-We celebrated Zach's 31st birthday, settled into life with a new baby, and I went back to work taking Aria with me.

 

 

February

-Aria got RSV and spent a couple nights in the hospital.  I also cut dairy and caffiene completely out of my diet and our baby (and the rest of the family) was MUCH happier!

 

 

March

-The littlest cousins all got to meet when my sister came to visit with the twins.

 

 

April

-We celebrated Easter, Aria learned to roll over and laugh at her silly brother, and Lyle turned three (we celebrated with a construction party!)

 

 

May

-Aria started daycare, was dedicated to the Lord, we went strawberry picking, and Zach and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.

 

 

June

-Zach worked hard helping his dad with Harvest and we helped deliver a lot of meals to the field.

 

 

July

-We celebrated the 4th of July in Kansas City, Aria started eating solid food, and I celebrated my 28th birthday.

 

 

August

-We headed out to Camp Mennoscah for our church retreat, had a crazy weekend at the Harper County Fair, added a new neice and cousin to the brood, and Aria had to spend a night in the hosptial with pneumonia.

 

 

September

-Lyle started preschool, we had play time with the cousins, and attended a family wedding.

 

 

October

-We had a fun girls weekend with my sisters and their kids, hosted a baby shower, went home for my 10 year high school reunion, gained another beautiful neice, celebrated Halloween, and took Lyle in for dental work and to the allergist.

 

 

November

We celebrated Thanksgiving with family and had a busy month with work and church activities.

 

 

December

Zach and I went to a Garth Brooks concert, Aria turned one (we celebrated with a Winter ONEderland party), we celebrated Christmas with family, and Lyle had surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed.

 

 

 

Even on the days when we are tired, sick, or worried....we are SO blessed.  I am so thankful for our wonderful family, friends, church, community, and all the opportunities we had to enjoy great things this year.  Here is to a wonderful 2016!!!
