The year started with a crazy horrible winter - more snow days that I have ever had in my teaching career, and snow in the yard that was taller than the girls. The girls gained THREE new cousins by the spring.
Summer was busy. We made it up to the cottage, enjoyed time at a beach house in South Haven with Mem, I competed in my first two CrossFit competitions with some of my favorite people, and Taylor was Ryan's buddy all summer, riding with him to his softball games.
In the fall, I really enjoyed getting to meet this new class of fun kindergarteners, the girls transitioned back into their classes at Toddlerville really well, and Ryan had his first pretty significant flag football injury when he tore his hamstring.
The year rounded off with Mem purchasing the lake house, lots of holiday celebrations, and a sign that our little kids are getting older, we finally took down the crib that we first put together 5 years ago. At the start of 2014, Taylor never went to bed in her own bed, and would come into our room in the middle of the night, and Cam was in the crib. We started 2015 with everyone in beds, and pretty good bedtime routines now (including no little people disrupting our sleep at night! :)). The little ladies grew up a lot last year. We also ended the year with no snow. It was a green Christmas.
We are hoping that 2015 is full of lots of really good stuff. Taylor will be starting kindergarten - one of the biggest milestones that we know will happen this year. This teacher-mama is already thinking about it. :) More memories to be made at Lake Charlevoix, and the new lake house. A new cousin will join the family this spring. Good stuff to come. :)
So to start the new year, here are a few pictures that wrapped up 2014 and began 2015.
December was a month with no snow. So we got in a little bike riding.
Cam being a cutie
She is still young enough to want to climb in my lap whenever she gets the chance. My little snuggle buddy.
Taylor is a puzzle master. She LOVES puzzles, and did this 100 piece puzzle all by herself. :)
I'm hoping to continue to learn and get better at the olympic lift progressions - and started the year with a lifting clinic.
The girls playing at the gym during the holiday party.
And lifting some weight at a sports store, too. :)
And we had friends over for New Year's Eve - these three had fun enjoying ice cream cones for a special treat. :)
Lots of hopes for 2015! We'll see how many snow days there are this year.... the girls and I are enjoying the first one of the year right now! ;)
