Ray & I rang in the new year with a very low-key evening at home

Sisterly Love

Kate tried a bottle for the first time &, of course, Addison had to help!

I got together with some of my old girlfriends & our growing multitude of children - out of our small group three of us are pregnant right now!

I got my hair cut again! I loved it!!!

I made the girls and I coordinating "chick" shirts

My grandmother met Kate for the first time!

Chuck in 3D with Renee & Paige- woohoo!!! (such nerds)

Target Time!

I did a little makeover in my craft room & I still love it!

Caroline came down for her annual "the-northern-winter-is-driving-me-crazy-&-I-must-go-to-Florida" trip!

Addison and daddy flying a kite

March
Cuddles with daddy

I started craving drinking chocolate & made some at home - that's an easy way to pack on pounds!

Yay for friends! Ruth, Ernie & Karine came down for a visit & Addison & Karine had a blast playing with each other! Here they are cleaning off from the beach.

I gave Addison her first hair cut!

My sweet girls

I did my own taste test for the new Starbucks Via brew - I liked the instant!

Ruthie turned three with a magnificent polka-dot party!

A few days after Ruthie's party we went to build-a-bear & Ray was one of the kids!

April
Ray & I both started job training for our new job

We went to Orlando & I just love this picture of my mom & Kate!

Our nice neighbors who's dog was killed by the not-so-nice neighbors distributed this flyer around our street:

Easter! (With the girls in the matching Easter dresses I made for them)
We saw some of our great-aunts whom we hadn't seen in eyars! Can you tell she & Megan are related?

I made some toddler bibs for a commissioned order

I caved to the trend and painted my toe nails a shocking orange!

My dad was in town & made a quick visit

On May 18 Ray & I celebrated our 7-year wedding anniversary

June
We made a trip to the farmer's market in Ybor
Kate tried solid foods for the first time
I turned 26 & was given this card that Ray & Addison made. And, "Kate just cried."
We also got to spend about half of a week at camp helping out!!! Yay!

Thanks for sharing your "Year-at-a-Glance"! Wish we could've been more a part of it :-) I hope you are all recovered from being sick. Love to you all!
