happy 2013

happy new year! we had a blast ringing in the new year with friends old and new. lauren and matt are both to us; they were just married last summer-we gained matt as a new friend and lauren has been my bff for over 10 years. every time we spend time together, especially this new years eve, we are reminded of why we are such great friends. we were meant to be.

2012 was a year full of amazing things and a few scary too. we welcomed rachel into our family as my brothers wife. she is so much fun and brings out a lively and new side of my brother. we celebrated six friends getting married and enjoyed seeing all of our friends and dancing the night away! tahoe is our annual summer trip in july-M loved swimming, hiking and went on her first boat ride. celebrating the holidays with M being 1 was both exciting and exhausting. she didn't want to open any presents but standing on the boxes was sure fun. she was teething a bit which brought on a fever...poor baby girl.

we are so looking forward to this coming year. trevor has become quite the golfer and his love for the game keeps growing. M is finding new ways to keep busy daily: climbing the couch, sliding and playing on her kangaroo climber, enjoying the outdoors and so many other things. she is definitely keeping this mama tired!! as for me, this new year is going to hopefully bring another babe into our family and i am really excited to learn more about the IVF process. we have our first consultation in two weeks and the days can't go by fast enough. i am trying to decide on a new hobby...possibly tennis? i have been contemplating tennis for over a year now and have to attempt. maybe this is the year.

bring it on 2013!!!!
